I want to make my browser(Chrome or Firefox) open all websites in unsecure mode to save on data. This means even if a website if secure, I want to open in unsecure mode. How is this possible? Does this save bandwidth?
AFAIK you can’t. It would kind-of defeat the purpose of https
Adding to what gandalf458 said, many times there will be server code or .htaccess code (on apache/nginx) that forces users trying to access http:// to redirect to the secure https:// protocol.
Like the 2 nice fellas said, I can’t imagine it being possible except maybe on a very poorly constructed website. Simply because the system would have no way of telling a man in the middle trying to intercept the data from a genuine user trying to reduce network traffic. There are many mitm tools that try doing just that and most websites have been built to resist it. I’m pretty sure there are many ways to do it that don’t involve you practically revealing your browsing data to the whole world. What you are trying to do is very unwise.
