"Block all unencrypted requests" is a phrase which is overly verbose and hard to reference. We keep on using the BAUR initialism when we don't want to type it out.
I suspect this feature will be used more and more as the web gets better and better HTTPS coverage. To make this feature easily referenceable and neater, I propose we rebrand it to something a bit nicer.
In the past we've used the phrase "HTTP Nowhere Mode", but this isn't properly descriptive since this mode blocks FTP connections now as well.
We will do some user testing on what makes the most intuitive sense for this feature, but I'd like to throw a few options out and see if they float or swim.
- Secure-Only Mode
- Encrypted-Only Mode
- Turbo-Secure Mode
- Security Ensured Mode
- Encryption Ensured Mode
Before coming up with other options, I was leaning towards (1) as a personal preference. But listing out these options, I actually like (5) the best. Next to any of these options in the drop-down, I'd like some help bubble text saying "This blocks all unencrypted requests" or something that better explains what this does.
