Exact version? We'll need that to recreate. "Latest" can actually vary.

Bug:
The page loads, displays content, 1 second later it turns to STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION death screen. or sometimes status_not_implemented death screen

That can also be client-side.

JS probably is the culprit, I don't have more time to debug this, disable extensions one by one, etc, but I thought it is worth giving you a small warning about it and see if other users are having the same issue.

Probably. JS sucks, still a necessary evil.
If you have time, please do help us troubleshoot. Spread thin right now.
Hopefully others don't have issues.

Which version? I use Firefox in Linux daily. With Firefox, it's often an addon at fault.

It'll start paying a Google penalty in late 2021 if the current round of speculation is to be believed, it's a bit silly for a site that's 50% dedicated to web hosting.

You insisted we just slap an SSL on the site, to get the "almighty" HTTPS green lock, and call it a day. What you don't comprehend is it isn't that easy. It'll break the site. Why else do you think Google hasn't ever enforced it? They've been saber rattling since 2014. The protocol is ideal, yes, but it sometimes takes work to get there. We're not there yet.
FYI, that green lock only gives warm and fuzzies, it isn't actually security of any kind. In general, your computer/phone would have to already be exploited. So crap security is on you, not us. The only way anybody could really exploit non-https, without an exploited device, is via MITM unknown WiFi logging -- ie, don't use random WiFi or free VPNs. For any site, https or not. But it's not like this is your bank account, it's a user forum for Q&A. Site Staff access is firewalled behind VPN, and that's really all that matters. Follow good online rules: don't use the same password, use uniques per site.
Web hosting has nothing to do with SSL. You're conflating.
We'll eventually get this implemented, but it will be done when the site gets a full upgrade (that's currently in development). It was slated for 2020, but pandemic and all, so ETA on hold for now. We determine our time table, not Google.
While we really do appreciate the question/nudge, you've got the answer. This passive aggressive BS needs to stop now.
