https: and those insecure feelings…
Have you ever tried to move from one web site to the other and (unknowingly) been directed to a secure site that’s normally hidden? It happened to my love the other day, and she was surprised, wondering what the heck??
You see, she’s used to typing in domain names, and Firefox on the Mac is pretty cool, because it will simply highlight and select the portion between the http://www. [and the] .com when you double click on a URL and want to type in a new domain address. Which is brilliant unless you pay no attention to what’s before the //.
Pay attention to everything on the line as you move around the web, with all the “modern conveniences” built into browsers and search engines.
As I’ve noted before, what a difference an ’s’ makes. It makes me very aware of how much I take for granted as I negotiate the online world.
