This has started happening a while ago (previously there was not perceptible delay) and luckily I don’t have to visit HTTP sites very often but it is annoying and I would like to get rid of it.
I know HTTP is bad TYVM. I only use this HTTPS-only mode to forcibly upgrade to HTTPS whenever possible and be notified if it doesn’t work.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how to disable it?

I wish the invalid SSL cert warning and the password field on HTTP warning could be permanently disabled for all private IP ranges. They are incredibly annoying.
That would mean malware can use your local ip and hostfile for mitm attacks.
Isn’t it already game over if malware can write into your hostfile? At least on Windows you need some elevated access for it, which means such malware could just read/write the target program’s memory directly instead of resorting to clunky MitM.
