The Right to Lie and Google’s “Web Environment Integrity”
His comment system is currently broken and will just 404 and return you to a URL at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rants.org&#x2F;^http:&#x2F;your.ip.addy.here&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rants.org&#x2F;^http:&#x2F;your.ip.addy.here&#x2F;</a>. So I guess I might as well post here instead,<p>&gt;My web browser (currently Mozilla Firefox running on Debian GNU&#x2F;Linux, thank you very much) will never cooperate with this bizarre and misguided proposal.<p>Mozilla used to be about user freedoms. Lately Mozilla has been a front-runner on turning off and disabling non-TLS just HTTP support. They will likely be one of the first browsers to remove support for it and eventually HTTP&#x2F;1.1 as a whole. ref: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;security&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;30&#x2F;deprecating-non-secure-http&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.mozilla.org&#x2F;security&#x2F;2015&#x2F;04&#x2F;30&#x2F;deprecating-non...</a><p>Given that HTTP&#x2F;3 as implemented by Mozilla <i>cannot</i> connect to self-signed TLS cert websites this means the future of Firefox is as a browser that can only visit websites that third party TLS CA corporations periodically approve (even if those corporations are currently benign, like LetsEncrypt). Does this remind you of anything? That&#x27;s not to say other browsers are better in this respect. Mozilla&#x27;s Firefox and it&#x27;s forks are the least worst... it&#x27;s just everything is getting much worse all together.
