Not sure what browser you are using, but most of them have an option that will upgrade http to https automagically.
I put your reply under AOU. I’ve got it figured out now. Thanks for trying to help.
I have never understood the point of encrypting traffic from a public website to your computer. Seems like a waste of CPU cycles. I guess if you login, like poal, ok. But if you're just reading the news, why bother?
I understand what you are saying and partially agree. But... It's all about privacy. Everyone should be able to consume data without having to use their privacy as payment. Yeah I may just be reading news from some random public site, but that doesn't mean other people should be able to know what I'm reading.
