At work, the net admin. has completely blocked HTTPS for everyone save a few bosses. He claims that way he can be sure no-one is using a proxy, tunnel, etc. to access Facebook, Youtube or other sites deemed not-suitable for work.
The whole web is slowly turning to HTTPS by default. Some sites (like Wikipedia) allow me to go thru simply editing the address and removing the "s", others insist in redirecting me - so I'm cut off of a lot of content I could see otherwise.
I appreciate the webmasters caring about my privacy and security, but such efforts are useless if I cannot use their sites at all as a result.
Is there a way to configure Firefox so it indicates to the site that https cannot/should not be used? Or to set up a proxy to navigate those sites?
