Topic: HTTPS Disabled on NintendoLife?

My computer is constantly throwing up errors about the fact that this site is suddenly not using HTTPS. Any ideas why this changed?

So that's why my browser (Chrome) has been nagging me about the URL being suddenly "NOT SAFE", written in red next to said URL. What's going on?

You can visit the site using https, just update your bookmark: https://www.nintendolife.com/ this will be enforced behaviour soon.

@antdickens Ah okay. When I tried just typing nintendolife.com like normal, my computer wouldn't let me in at all, didn't realize it wasn't setup to redirect yet. Makes sense though. Thanks for the quick response!

@link3710 Try clearing your browser cache.

Why doesn't the website redirect to https on default?

Because the world is a sick, sad place.
I have no clue myself, buddy. Let's hope we'll get new replies sooner or later.

That's remarkably ironic that Chrome of all browsers is "enforcing" security by warning away all websites that aren't https....when the whole point of Chrome is a back door Trojan to funnel as much information as possible from your browsing to Google. Apparently Eric Schmidt was never taught that sharing is caring. Though his well documented love life contradicts that.

It's a screen door on a submarine.

@NEStalgia I mean, to be fair, literally all the browsers are planning on that. I know Firefox has activated it as well at the least, but there's no reason that all connections shouldn't be encrypted at this point.

But yeah, Chrome is leading the charge on this one, for what it's worth lol.

@link3710 As a Firefox & Edge user I haven't actually seen that take effect. Maybe only as default for new installs? But yeah, it's Chrome pushing it which is just sad. At least it's better than Opera offering a "free VPN" (hosted in Beijing....)

@NEStalgia I think in Firefox, it's still like Chrome used to be where it only shows up on forms, or maybe they need a password field for it to show up, I don't remember. All I know is it's just a little lock with a slash through it, not the big error message that's in Chrome. Opera has one too, but Edge is... well Edge and doesn't inform you as far as I'm aware.

@link3710 Ahh, yeah I was thinking about the big error message...an indicator doesn't actually affect usage.

Of course this is the same Google that decided to reinvent the web in their own image by delisting any site that doesn't conform to "mobile first" ideology. How convenient to leverage your search monopoly to force the entire internet to favor your wing of the OS triopoly. At least in the 90's MS got sued for such things.
