mine defaults to http for whatever reason
someone should write in a htaccess code that autoredirects to https
um, no one uses IE anymore, and Firefox 52 is compatible with XP so they should be able to get on here fine with https...The htaccess is specially designed to allow people to remain on http if they wish, mainly for places like China (where all the flash carts and such come from) so they can still use it.
It should remain on whatever you select, however if someone links the http version of the site and you start clicking it will go from there. If your bookmark of the frontpage (or http://gbatemp.net/new/ if you are sensible) is http then it stay with that. Google will tend to send you to the https version (I usually have to remove it should I search via google, fortunately it is easy to remove and the inbuilt engine does very well for me).
If you are really concerned then https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere is good stuff and will force redirect you on all sites which can.
IE was killed just as they were starting to make it good, IE8 was the start of them trying to actually make a half-decent browser, and IE11 is actually okGod bless you..
IE will never die.. trust me.. to many system depends on it. As much as i hate to say it.IE was killed just as they were starting to make it good, IE8 was the start of them trying to actually make a half-decent browser, and IE11 is actually ok
then they went and replaced it with that Edge trash, wtf Microsoft
yeah, they are still keeping it updated as long as Windows 10 is supported, just not releasing any major version.IE will never die.. trust me.. to many system depends on it. As much as i hate to say it.
Where did I say or imply anything about good old internet exploder?um, no one uses IE anymore, and Firefox 52 is compatible with XP so they should be able to get on here fine with https...
you mentioned something about China not being able to access the Internet through HTTPS, this kinda implied that you thought a lot of them were still using ~IE9/~W7... I could be wrong thoughWhere did I say or imply anything about good old internet exploder?
I know, I thought Temp used TLS 1.1+ and not the insecure SSLv3 platform. IE9 on Vista and anything before that doesn't support TLS 1.1+.Internet explorer does support SSL, and has done for many years (certainly long enough ago that it was old news by the time XP rolled around). The trouble tends to come with the great firewall blocking traffic, and while people can use VPNs and what have you it allows them to not have to bother with that.
The problem is not the form of encryption used. It has to do with countries like China knowingly blocking/disrupting encrypted Internet traffic so that people are forced to use more insecure methods to access sites even though this means that said traffic can be spied upon with almost no effort by their government.I know, I thought Temp used TLS 1.1+ and not the insecure SSLv3 platform.
