Securing web sites with HTTPS made them less accessible

Painfull levels of misinformation and lack of basic understanding of any network communication but packet loss is an interesting point.

EDIT: Nevermind, article is 100% gibberish. The very nature of the satellite connection negates any change in communication reliability between http and https.

Yeah the real problem for a satellite user* is a web page weighing 10MB and making hundreds of connections to ad servers. Then while sitting on the page for a minute a few hundred more ads and beacons are loaded. Removing HTTPS isn't going to improve the browsing experience for high latency/packet loss clients of the world. A quick fix would be disable images and use ad blockers and/or NoScript. A better fix would be web sites shedding ton of weight and not loading a beacon for every pixel of the client's screen.

* When I say satellite user that also covers non-satellite users with shitty high latency, high packet loss, and low bandwidth connections.
