In most cases its not needed to use of SSL protocol . but if you really need privacy for all of your works , its a good news for you .
SSL is security of the sockets…meaning that no one can intercept you. While deleting cookies means no one can see on your computer what u have done. The data on the internet to get from point A to point B gets through a lot of other computers (that’s the TCP?IP structure) and these computers with a lil hard work could check what u sent to computer B unless the data is encrypted
To me it is a waste of resources. sure it is SSL until you click on a search result... Doesn't make much sense to me.
