I am not sure how I feel about the general HTTPS-ization of the web. I've used squid (http://www.squid-cache.org/) and dansguardian (http://dansguardian.org/) for nearly 15 years now. It greatly speeds up my web and keeps smut away from my family.
Yet it is becoming more and more useless everyday because of HTTPS. I used to be able to quickly fly through google maps because most of the images were in cache, even with only 1mbs internet. Then it went HTTPS only. So I started using mapquest, then it too did the same. Bing maps still allows some non HTTPS images, so I now use that sometimes.
I can see how some sites might want to be more private in nature. But news and maps websites I am not seeing the point.
