Are we positing that there are a bunch of folks who are smart enough to figure out how to build an EV, but not smart enough to figure out how to get a web browser to load a doc with http?

Someone with admin access to the server needs to do the work to get https working, and then the routine maintenance to keep it working as certificates expire, etc. Best regards, Kevin > On Jul 2, 2025, at 20:19, Ron via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > > They don't need to be, but it's become very impractical for users when a site > doesn't use HTTPS. > > Bad website practices combined with consumer confusion over what "secure" > actually means has led some browser makers to just deny HTTP by default.
