If you don't use HSTS, you have to be _really_ sure that _all_ your users fully understand the risks of using an unencrypted connection. In the example you gave, wouldn't you have lost all your work anyway without HSTS? I don&#x27

This comment and most replies use "carrier" as shorthand for "carrier and/or manufacturer". This looks funny to me because my carrier is T-Mobile and doesn't add bloatware AFAICT. Using "manufacturer"
