This is just due to the way that the OP posted it, not how it was originally published. This website forces HTTPS using ChaCha20-Poly1305 standard.

I want those delivered by https most, because http leaks the exact page I've visited, rather than just the domain.

If you care about preventing those kinds of leaks, do not use mainstream browsers (they are likely to leak even your https URLs to the browser company), and do not access those pages directly using your home connection (there may be mitms between you and the page).
