Is this just general advice? If so, I agree, but if it's specific to this, what's the problem you see with it?
It is general advice, but https should have been the default for a good while.
If we have to pick just one reason: WEI. As someone who’s been a professional software engineer for a decade and a half, this has the potential to mutate and ruin the internet at large in ways we’re only beginning to fully explore and understand.
Why just one? :p
Second reason: killing manifest v2 to kneecap ad-blockers.
Third reason: banning 'trackmenot' extension from the chrome store since its purpose is to muddy search stats (enhancing privacy, but in a way that messes up Google's ad metrics and their history of your preferred search terms).
