Actually, this is one *kind* of thing that I hate, because it causes
breakage all over the place.

If you're on an older system (whatever the OS/device/browser is), having
HTTP forced into HTTPS frequently results in being unable to use the
site because they can't find a mutually acceptable HTTPS scheme.

While I don't use it on the browser, there's quite a few sites which
implement it themselves (you go to http://example.com and *they*
redirect you to https://example.com).

I don't agree with that, either.  There's scads of sites that use Flash
for video, YouTube for one (it's only partially HTML5), News websites,
etc.  And plenty of sites that provide audio-only (radio, streaming, or
simply "listen to my file" services) use Flash.  Just about anything
that wants to control your viewing/listening to only viewing it through
their service, rather than being possible to download it, use Flash as
the method.

no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages
