In the past browsers did not scaremonger so much about self-signed certs and search engines would index sites that were just http and this didn't effect their ranking.

That's necessary because people tend to be fixated on whatever task they're doing, and that causes them to click pass any warnings regardless of risk or comprehension.

I can't tell if you are serious here.

You want self signed certs to be trusted and the web to move back to the days of HTTP where anybody could just intercept your traffic ?

Search engines have stopped listing http sites? Since when? I do not have https for my site (unclear if sourcefoge allows https for custom domains)
