I don't know what is on a page until I visit it, so to make a stand myself in favor of a less insecure internet, I use HTTPS Everywhere in strict mode, which blocks HTTP. I have found that mostly I can live with it, and wish for the community (HN audience is a good part of it) to keep pushing (through a bit of pressure perhaps) towards an HTTPS only internet.

The problem with this is that it makes it very difficult to do network/isp level caching, this is especially problematic in areas where internet connectivity is slow, expensive, and limited.
It would be nice if https had a signature only mode so ISPs could cache but not meddle with the contents.
Buy me certificates and I'll use HTTPS.
