This isn't at all what Richard was trying to say. The original discussion states that the plan will be to make all new browser features only work under HTTPS, to help developers and website owners to migrate to HTTPS only. This does mean these browsers will remove support for HTTP ever; but simply to deprecate it. Browsers still support many legacy and deprecated features. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
