Mixed content weakens HTTPS
Requesting subresources using the insecure HTTP protocol weakens the security of the entire page, as these requests are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, where an attacker eavesdrops on a network connection and views or modifies the communication between two parties. Using these resources, an attacker can often take complete control over the page, not just the compromised resource.

Although many browsers report mixed content warnings to the user, by the time this happens, it is too late: the insecure requests have already been performed and the security of the page is compromised. This scenario is, unfortunately, quite common on the web, which is why browsers can't just block all mixed requests without restricting the functionality of many sites.

In fact, we're enthusiastic supporters of anyone who wants to put more power in the hands of individuals by building more effective markets for information. Heck, we even engaged in some innocent crypto-flirting with Alexandria this week:

Perhaps our biggest critique of Alexandria is their waste of money in buying all those vowels ;).
But to the point. [BraveNewCoin published the first side-by-side comparison of LBRY and Alexandria this week](http://bravenewcoin.com/news/alexandria-vs-lbry-which-will-be-the-file-sharing-application-of-the-next-generation/). The article is thorough and fair, highlighting what we believe to be one of LBRY's strongest asset:
