That is a pretty weak argument for why we should sacrifice privacy. We should continue moving in the opposite direction. Ideally, within 5 years, browsers should send up warning flags whenever the user hits a website that doesn't use HTTPS.
They had to go back 20 years to find a browser that does not support TLS. Software that old is going to have other fundamental problems accessing the modern web. The amount of work necessary to make every website actually work on a browser that old is far, far greater than just supporting HTTP.
