Crazy times. Nowadays it's weird when a website doesn't have https. Back then it was pretty much big companies only. And the price of a wildcard certificate...

Except for neverssl.com

Triggering the launch of captive portals for public Wi-Fi users everywhere yayy

That website says it will never use SSL, but it definitely just connected over https with a valid certificate when I went there.

That's odd. Try httpforever.com instead.

Nice yeah that site actively rejects https connections.

I just use an IP address, they always resolve http and I can type 1.1.1.1 faster.
