I ran old distro just because the fun factor. You barely can find site that
is not behind https. Google is still allowing you to load in http.

If you do the search in google for vintage sites you would get links in
https. How I'm suppose to see that :)

Is everybody freaking out. Static site behind https doesn't make too much
of a sense.

Or if you want to get seamonkey browser for old Windows the IE cannot
connect to https from today.
