Goodbye chrome then. Basically corporate scumbags pushing their own agenda with just enough plausibility that the gullible will help push their agenda for them.

What happened to "do no evil". Seems to be all google do now.

What on earth are you talking about?

I've heard this nonsense over and over again, and not a single person has been able to provide a plausible explanation why this is a bad thing to do.

What evil agenda does Google have for pushing HTTPS-by-default?

You probably have the wrong idea here. https is not a cash grab or an information gathering tool. It’s the opposite--technology that protects users’ privacy.

Except Google don't sell certs. This isn't a cash-grab, it's use of soft power to genuinely improve the web.

Firefox has been doing that for some time now, but you have to click on the information logo left of the address bar to see the “Connection is not secure” warning.
