[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 923210, member: 55987"] HTTPS-only mode in FF is just like Smart HTTPS i.e. it forces a HTTP site to upgrade to HTTPS site. If cannot, then it falls back to a HTTP site and warn you as such. Of course, Smart HTTPS also comes with a whitelist feature for you to whitelist those HTTP sites you want. I think the new feature in Chrome (and Chromium) works on this method. HTTPS Everywhere works a bit differently i.e. it's based on a whitelist of sites. If your HTTP site is on the whitelist then it'll be auto upgraded to the HTTPS site. If not then it stays as a HTTP site. It also has a feature to handle mixed content in a webpage. If Chrome(and Chromium) works on the above method then likely it'll not handle mixed content (eg. images) in the webpage which can present as insecure elements i.e. the website is a HTTPS site with 'Insecure' marking [/QUOTE]
