The point is I see no evidence why HTTP is better for viewability than HTTPS. I showed there are cases where it’s not. You showed there are cases where it’s irrelevant. But the point remains… when is it worse and is it enough to sacrifice the security benefits?




> when is it worse

When browser refuses due to invalid cert. Used to be a thing. Do correct me if it is still not.

> the security benefits?

There are no security benefits for such a site.
