HTTPS protocol, by design, is secure and private.
The average consumer expects this to be true.
Google had to actually go and change, in an "under cover" way, the
entire way and method that HTTPS works. This "change" is being sold as
a "good thing" to poor people and/or people with low bandwidth and that
Google is doing a "good thing" by making this change.
Dear Andre
The URLs you're accessing are also available for
- your ISP
- your VPN provider (unless you've rolled your own)
and some information is also potentially stored by
- your DNS provider
And Opera browser has been doing similar things when you've enabled the bandwidth savings.
or am I missing something?
OK. I'm ignoring here that this particular thingi is using MITM methods to do the optimization, which is for me a bit more worrying than google having access to the URLs I browse. They have them mostly anyway.
But, it is a choice a user makes, it is not forced upon them.
Yours,
