Very annoying. > I'd say "very correct"! I like to work in HTTPS (and we should, really, in a secure world). Many websites already moved to it by default such as github.com, all google sites, workflowy.com, foursquare and more. Most of what we do online is private. Not "I want to hide this because it's illegal" private, but "this is personal, so mind your own business" private. The dangers of no privacy in the internet age are becoming more and more apparent and it's high time we realize it and exercise some personal discretion. I'm happy websites are now moving to it and I don't need to always rewrite "http" to "https". It's time to get fucking modern. :) (and you can quote me on that!) S.
