 using a list of sites known to work is nice because it doesnt break
 anything but it is also prone to miss a lot of smaller less known sites.
 so i think thre should be an option to always try to fetch a https
 version. to avoid hsts like supercookies it would have to try https on
 every http request which would add a lot of lattency but i think it should
 be up to the user to decide if he wants to trade usability for potential
 added security.
