TLS could be the most flawed system on Earth and it would still be better than no TLS. Plain traffic is just that, plain. I can do whatever I want to your web browser as I can arbitrarily change the contents of websites. I can make a page be full of ads or do more malicious things such as replacing a page with a phishing site or running something like beef which allows me to have full control of a browser and to pull all information. I could also exploit any vulnerabilities in the browser to do privilege escalation although to be fair major security CVEs are rare.
This is literally a community about privacy. I don’t understand why you wouldn’t want https. It works out of the box and it is implemented pretty much everywhere. If a site doesn’t use it that site isn’t really worth using as it take very little time to setup with Let’s encrypt.
And these days we’re on v1.3 - https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/ssl/why-use-tls-1.3/
Notice anything? There’s always a flaw. The general public hasn’t discovered it in TLS1.3…yet
And again, Banking websites, some stuff makes a lot of sense to use encryption.
Just not everywhere.
