Would it be both feasible and reasonable to make the webpage secure? Brave is keen to tell me it isn't.

It would take money (I checked, I'd have to pay a fee to my hosting service) and some work to put the page into HTTPS format. Since I don't derive any income from the site, I'm loathe to put more money into it than I already do.

Also, it isn't a banking site, or even a site where any commerce takes place, or anything like that, that would require security. Putting extra money and work into the site to increase it's security would be a total waste of the time and money.

I could charge for access to the site, or I could litter it with ads, and that would make it worth my time and the extra expense, but I doubt that many of the current visitors would ever be willing to visit again.

By the way, I already have another 15 free applications to add to the site at the next update! Keep checking back.

EDIT:
Sorry for my belated and almost redundant reply as I didn't notice Randy's previous post until I posted and the page Reloaded to make it viewable.

Anyway, I would think both explanations would be enough to make sure everything is secure if and when visiting the site.

I would be very surprised if you could get or be harmed by anything at that site as long as you pay attention to what you are doing or maybe have a look at your Brave settings if it has such an option as Google Chrome:

Just don't enter any personal information you do not want to share, if it is even possible to do so.

My Web site does not ask for, or accept, any information whatsoever. There is absolutely nothing about my Web site that requires heightened security.

Been to the site several times, including a few recently. I can attest to that. I've never been asked for any information -- personal or otherwise.

The site also doesn't use cookies, it doesn't track visitors (except for a hit counter), and it doesn't send your information to Google via their ad network. All of my Web sites are squeaky clean. ;)

That was my assumption for your site and I assume for other unsecured sites the OP may encounter, but I wasn't 100% sure.
