https://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/forums.debian.net No bad reports there.
And then, here is a example of a site that does use "https",
but I certainly would not trust the site:

And as far as this thing about people masquerading as experts, I don't know
who that might be. I have never claimed to be a expert, in fact in reverse
I usually admit I don't know the answer, but when I did a search I did find
a lot of results that look like they could be valid solutions.
We do have a lot of "super users", but the masks don't cover anything , it all comes out in the wash.
Besides , this topic has been discussed in several other similar topics,
every so often someone comes along and seems to think that starting
another topic on the same old subject will change something, but it won't.

This blog claims to be a expert, but then who knows really ? Not me, I am no expert, but I don't think https really makes any site more secure then other
http sites. I don't use FireFox any more, and don't have the problem with
the browser telling me a site is secure or not secure. My system is secure,
so I don't worry about it.
