I would not be lured into a false sense of security provided by browser makers and their insistence that the safest form of browsing is over HTTPS. You can still be easily MITM'd with captive portals, gateway content inspection/injection, DNS forgery, via proxy content injection, your ad blocker or browser extensions profile and probably another half dozen easily implemented exploits. Heck, your browser can even become part of the MITM exploit.
I'll intentionally misquote a saying I've heard about rules & law; "[Encryption standards] aren't made to keep the bad guys out; they're made to keep the good guys in."
