How I feel about HTTPS

My recent postings on using HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure) for my sites reminded one of my readers, White_Rabbit, to send in a link to Discourse on HTTPS [1]. The language may be salty, but it does align with my feelings towards HTTPS—namely, I don't really need it. But as I stated, Google will any day now start with the Big Scary Error Messages on non-secure sites, followed by (possibly—I don't know this for a fact, but a gut feeling) no longer allowing non-secure requests at all. And with Google's Chrome having a ridiculous market share, that's something to be concerned about.
