Ah something for the day xkcd[1] makes https mandatory.

1. http://xkcd.com




I use yahoo. I don't want to use a site that I would otherwise intentionally use-- captive portals often poison the DNS.


Yahoo is starting to use Strict-Transport-Security now...

I'd love to be in the meeting where they discuss adding security features lowers their traffic volumes...


Yep. I used to hit Reddit, but they went to SSL by default. Since then, I've had to route people to xkcd who didn't know how to get around this issue.


So that's three of us. Funny how so many of us come to the same conclusion of using xkcd.


Weird. Me too. I think it's because it's a frequently-visited site, so it shows up next to the Facebook button in the Chrome default page.
