Thank you for saying that. I always thought HTTPS was only for private communication or logged sessions. Reading random stuff on news sites shouldn't be HTTPS'ed, it has too many downsides and no upside in these cases.
However, HTTP/2 is here, and it is HTTPS only. The dream is over. We're lucky -- only lucky -- that someone decided to do Let's Encrypt so I can still run a personal website without paying thousands on certificates.
