Mixed content weakens HTTPS fix6 (#616)

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.

[@NileRed](https://open.lbry.io/%40NileRed) (also available on spee.ch at https://spee.ch/@NileRed) is a regular Reddit front page sensation. Don’t believe me? As /u/deeexz [two years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/chemistry/comments/3lgk8f/my_absolute_favourite_chemistryrelated_channel_on/?st=j98pwzbq&sh=a9b568e6) said, “My absolute favourite chemistry-related channel on YouTube.” And now, NileRed has nearly a quarter of a million subscribers. So, we should all be thanking deeexz.
