"HTTPS everywhere" is such a stupid concept. Not all data is sensitive. All it does is increase power consumption. Encryption/decryption isn't free.
It also limits the Web to those servers that have DNS names, since you can't get a certificate for an IP address.
How to Obtain an SSL Certificate for an IP Address
and just like this example
OP is being told he is not connecting to the actual 8kun site but doesn't understand what is happening. 8kun has a perfectly valid https cert and this error is telling him the one he is being served is not valid.
Of course it has uses. My objection is to "HTTPS everywhere".
Sometimes my traffic isn't going over an ISP. So I don't give a shit about DNS. But the browser still complains as if it has any idea of what's going on.
sure, but who turns it on?
Sorry but I'm out of the loop on which browsers do it by default, none of mine do.
