Now that HTTPS Everywhere is a WebExtension, there's no excuse for you not to use it.

There's been a development WebExtensions version for like 3 months

And now it's on AMO. No more excuses.

Smart HTTPS is better anyway, its been a webextention for some time.

Explain what makes it better.

>trusting the ssl jew

Explain this meme

instead of having a list of websites that it forces HTTPS for, it converts all requests to HTTPS, and then falls back to HTTP only if TLS negotiation fails. This accomplishes everything HTTPS everywhere does, but also does so on sites it doesn't know about.

He's trolling. There's lots of legitimate criticisms of the CA system but its strictly better than sending everything in clear.

>HTTPS Everywhere
Is it the stuff that works only on specific sites frome some list?

>This accomplishes everything HTTPS everywhere does
Does it enforce it on third party domains as well?
>but also does so on sites it doesn't know about.
What about websites where the HTTPS version redirects it to somewhere broken or completely different?

And what about legit sites that have proper https page but addon doesn't redirect me there. Do I have to change the url manually? If yes then what's the point, I installed addon so that it would do this automatically.

It's been a web extension for well over a month at this point. You just needed to go to eff.org to get it as a web extension.

Unless you mean that because HTTPS Everywhere is a web extension that there is no reason for me not to use FF57, at which point, you are very wrong. At bare minimum, I need DNSSEC/TLSA Validator to become an extension before I'm willing to use FF57. Until then, I'm sticking with Waterfox.

I tested smart HTTPS on FF57 it really sucks and slows down your browsing experience

>tfw still no HTitle equivalent

Try a non-shit DE that lets you remove decorations.

>not just configuring HSTS for the sites you use in your browser's

Hey

Hey

How about this

How about you block HTTP traffic on your router

Fucking idiot

you do know firefox does that by default right? that extension is obsolete

Smart HTTPS converted everything to http for me. Fucking useless.

IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING YOU DUMB NIGGERS

Yep, its pretty silly. I don't know why they decided to do it that way in the first place. Even if you're EFF and have a couple million active users, you'll never be able to build a database that covers every single https-enabled site on the internet, its just plain impossible. Most users just use the addon and never submit any new rules. And I think checking every address that you type into your URL bar against a list hosted by a third party is a big stinking privacy risk.

Addons like smart https tend to be a bit slower, especially if you browse a lot of old static sites that haven't implemented https support, but I think its definitely worth it. It makes sure that your traffic is only unencrypted when its absolutely necessary.

>no excuse for you not to use it

Data saver in Chrome cannot work with https

Only matters on metered connections tho

That's nice, but there's still no extension that goes back to your previously-selected tab when you close your current tab. Odd how they allow you to navigate tabs in MRU order but they don't allow you to close tabs in MRU order. Mozilla gonna retard, I suppose.
