[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 816419, member: 55987"] IMO, it's not necessary to have HTTPS Everywhere extension. Reasons being 1) Most of the sites nowadays are HTTPS although some sites still are HTTP 2) The website may contain Mixed content (i.e. the content on the website is not 100% secure or unencrypted) resulting in the insecure content (e.g. images) portion subject to abuse. HTTPS Everywhere cannot force these sites to be HTTPS 3) The green padlock icon is no longer an indication that the website is safe for it can be phished. A study showed that 49% of the phishing sites carry the green padlock icon. Read below [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thesslstore.com/blog/https-phishing-green-padlock/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
