Is it important to use HTTPS?

2: HTTPS is more secure, for both users and website owners. With HTTPS, data is encrypted in transit in both directions: going to and coming from the origin server. The protocol keeps communications secure so that malicious parties can't observe what data is being sent.

Do people still use HTTPS?

From the perspective of a device that supports photos, video, and audio playback, the HTPC is dead. We've reached the point where other technology devices can perform those functions for a fraction of the cost.

What happens if you don't use HTTPS?

Without HTTPS, any data passed is insecure. This is especially important for sites where sensitive data is passed across the connection, such as eCommerce sites that accept online card payments, or login areas that require users to enter their credentials.

Is HTTPS Everywhere still necessary?

Romanian software developer Alex Nedelcu said “Interestingly there are still people thinking HTTPS isn't needed for all websites, but they are wrong. TLS/SSL connections aren't useful just for protecting what user sends, but also for signing what the server sends.”
