Is it possible to use the browser in https only mode, or at least have it force launch any https sites in a new incognito mode window so that you know it's http-only. Furthermore, it would be nice if you could disable all text inputs on http-only windows.

I know that I would be more likely to contact a site owner asking for https if it screamed at me everytime it happened.

It's time to ditch http for all but rare use cases, because almost 2014.

Get the "HTTPS Everywhere" addon for Firefox, or, apparently, Chrome now.
that "only" uses a list of known https domains to force the browser to use them. It does not magically enable "https everywhere".
Yes, you can configure most browser to use proxy. So, I think, you can set the none proxy (or valid) for https and some invalid proxy ip for http, so you cannot connect to any http server.
