From: Craig on 18 Jun 2010 13:50 Haven't tried it... yet. > The EFF has announced the availability of a new Firefox add-on called > HTTPS Everywhere. As the name implies, it forces the browser to use a > secure connection when the user visits a supported Web site. > > Although many Web sites support SSL, it isn't always used by default, > which means that users are sometimes exposed to the risk of snooping > and data interception by unauthorized third parties. The add-on aims > to mitigate that risk by directing users to HTTPS URLs whenever it is > possible. The add-on currently works with several popular > destinations on the Internet, including search engines and social > networking Web sites. Users can configure their own sets of rules to > enable the feature on additional sites. <http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2010/06/eff-announces-web-encryption-add-on-for-firefox.ars> -- -Craig
