Confused as all heck. Firefox switched over to https. Opera did NOT. Credge Beta DID.

It really doesn't make sense that it would affect some browsers and not others, unless I don't understand this process.

I don't think they pushed the button yet.

It'd a federal holiday. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm also thinking it hasn't happened yet. Here's a simple curl today:

$ curl -v -X HEAD http://bigballofyarn.proboards.com
* Rebuilt URL to: http://bigballofyarn.proboards.com/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
*   Trying 104.16.176.19...
* Connected to bigballofyarn.proboards.com (104.16.176.19) port 80 (#0)
> HEAD / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.35.0

Here's more what I would expect to see:
$ curl -v -X HEAD http://unpoke.com
* Rebuilt URL to: http://unpoke.com/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
*   Trying 47.20.68.84...

< Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

<
* Closing connection 0

My website redirects to the https variant. It doesn't ever get served over http.

What about now Pøĸē?

My browser has said https for 2 days now, but I didn't make any manual changes.

But supposedly only 40% of forums crossed over so far.

I still do not see redirection to https though if you manage to end up on https you might just stay there.

I'm getting https on pc and http on my phone.

No. It's automatic.

[Holden]

I'm getting https everywhere. I think we made the jump.

my website didn't change automatically but i have redirects and all of my links change to https

it's just more secure. https uses port 443 instead of http that uses port 80.
