Stop using protocol-relative URLs

Read Original

This technical article argues against using protocol-relative URLs (e.g., //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js). It explains they downgrade security for HTTP users, break pages loaded from the filesystem, and are obsolete now that HTTPS is fast and universally supported. The author recommends always using absolute HTTPS URLs for linked resources.
