> I like the idea of the web being https by default.

So that proxies become useless, the connection gets slower, data traffic increases, firefox users are plagued with warnings because people don't have proper certificats etc.

At least 95% of the web-pages people are viewing are pointless bullshit anyway. It's not as if the casual internet user were using the potential freedom of the internet for anything good.

Messaging and similar services should be private of course.

tl;dr :-)

But how should this solve the conflict of encryption/privacy vs caching?
