I feel Firesheep deserves at least some of the credit too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesheep

Latest firefox tells me that site http://codebutler.github.io/firesheep/ is unsecure

got there from official blog https://codebutler.com/2010/10/24/firesheep/

Maybe force https when requesting http ?
