Anyone have a foolproof way to get grandma to always put "https://" in front of "www"?
I understand this is a huge can of worms, but maybe it's time to change the default behavior of browsers from http to https...?
I'm sure it's doable in FF with a simple plugin, one doesn't have to wait for FF4. (That would work for bookmarks too.)
I don't think anything involving HTTPS is necessairly an answer to this problem. Specifically: * not all sites do HTTPS * many organizations use transparent proxies like Microsoft ICA * certification authorities can in theory be bought off (or otherwise manipulated) to issue bogus certs, making switching to HTTPS worthless William
