Do you want your location along with your credentials to your lol cats forum in the wild ?

Depending on what site you're going to, you can be screwed pretty easily.




I didn't mention credentials. Plenty of web use is anonymous, and has 0 need for SSL/TLS


You don't need credentials to be identified, your browser can be identified quite accurately (see https://panopticlick.eff.org/).


Counterexample: If you want it to be anonymous, you need TLS (and Tor!).


Well I'm glad you're able to miss the fucking point with such efficiency
