This has started happening a while ago (previously there was not perceptible delay) and luckily I don’t have to visit HTTP sites very often but it is annoying and I would like to get rid of it.

I know HTTP is bad TYVM. I only use this HTTPS-only mode to forcibly upgrade to HTTPS whenever possible and be notified if it doesn’t work.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to disable it?

      I’d like to point out this very valid reason not to:

      I ain’t going to SSL just to get straight to myself

      Could, but then Firefox (or more like Librewolf in my case) will complain of a self signed cert.

        Plus it’s silly. Imagine having every door in your home locked away, and in order to enter a room you have to get a keychain out of your pocket…!

        So you’re right. For localhost, SSL is absolutely unnecessary.

          But at the same time I totally get doing it for testing purposes, so a message saying that it’s a self cert/unencrypted is still welcome.

          … Just not 5 seconds of waiting
