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://rants.org/%5Ehttp:/your.ip.addy.here/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rants.org/%5Ehttp:/your.ip.addy.here/</a>. So I guess I might as well post here instead,<p>>My web browser (currently Mozilla Firefox running on Debian GNU/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/1.1 as a whole. ref: <a href="https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/04/30/deprecating-non-secure-http/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2015/04/30/deprecating-non...</a><p>Given that HTTP/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's not to say other browsers are better in this respect. Mozilla's Firefox and it's forks are the least worst... it's just everything is getting much worse all together.
