How do they inject stuff into HTTPS pages?
3 comments

Unless the site uses certificate pinning its possible to do a downgrade attack that forces browser off of HTTPS. The extension HTTPS Everywhere is a stopgap against this
things that do stuff like this can't, they try whatever tricks are possible to push javascript or redirects to send the client browser to something non https, on port 80
it does say "Not secure" for the https info, so I guess they intercept the request
yeah but not secure is regular http. on https they cannot do that without triggering a browser warning.
