Afaik not actually possible in practice. Browsers these days will a) remember valid certs for a domain b) remember that a domain is HTTPS (no downgrades) c) sniff certificates based on crowdsourcing.

Maybe this is why it reduced and stopped over the years. I'm not as knowledgeable in contemporary HTTPS and its capabilities, probably.
Because I'm pretty sure that happened.

Yeah. I hope you realize though why there’s a stern castigation, on a particularly techy and security conscious forum, of using HTTP instead of HTTPS. People here both remember the problems and what’s been done to combat them. It’s discomforting to see backwards progress when so much has been done. Security isn’t purely a technical problem. It’s an educational one too.
