Quoted from pinball_happy:Site-wide SSL is a good thing. The added overhead is negligible. I wish more sites would do the same.
Well one thing that makes Robin's job much easier is Pinside is ad free (which is why I'm happy to donate to it). Much harder to do full site-wide SSL when you're running ad code.
This is why SSL can be a pain for sites, when you have mixed content like that you generate all kinds of scary looking warnings. Robin has a ton of control over everything here, but when you have ads and tracking scripts and all the normal stuff commercial sites have to run to survive it becomes very tricky to navigate.
I'm not a fan of ad blockers, but if you have one just whitelist Pinside, there's not even any reason to run it here.
Quoted from mac622:My work does not allow access to https sites
Wut. Might want to rethink that policy, HTTPS is only going to gain momentum moving forward. What's the justification for that?
