Add option to set Domain Expansion to HTTPS

deject

When I try using domain expansion (CTRL + Enter) Vivaldi adds http://www before what I've typed to complete the URL. Normally this is not a problem as I get redirected to HTTPS and the site loads as expected, however if a site does not have HTTPS redirection set up in the normal way (which is rare but does happen somewhat regularly for me) I get insecure site warnings and I have to manually fix or retype the full URL with https:// in order to connect to the site. I have the "Always Use Secure Connection (HTTPS)" option enabled.

Would it be possible to either get a checkbox to have the domain expansion autocomplete with https:// or have it do that if the Always Use Secure Connection (HTTPS) is enabled?

Which version of Vivaldi is used and on which OS

Can you provide an example URL to test against as I cannot reproduce reported behaviour?

Vivaldi adds a button to the warning page, so you can continue and ignore the warning for the current browsing session.

Voted. There is no need for Vivaldi to add WWW to everything. Most sites don't even have a WWW anymore, and like the OP, I often just type in, for example, Vivaldi dot com into my address bar.

Voted; it seems this is new behavior in the last couple Vivaldi releases as I don't remember seeing it before around the 7.2.x builds.

@yojimbo274064400 I've seen this on multiple sites. Here are repro instructions if you need them (I did this on Windows):

Open a new tab in the browser, either using the New Tab button or the Ctrl+T shortcut.
Type the main part of the domain in the location bar (e.g. 'trugreen,' 'google,' etc.)
Use the domain expansion shortcut of Ctrl+Enter to fill out the rest of the domain name and start the page navigation process.
Domain expansion autofills the address bar with http:// instead of the expected https:// option (e.g., http://www.google.com or http://www.trugreen.com).
This results with the Site is not secure warning page, even with Always Use Secure Connection (HTTPS) enabled in Vivaldi's settings menu:
