[QUOTE="Nightwalker, post: 816429, member: 23015"] HTTPS isnt about phishing protection (it never was), it is all about session hijacking and privacy protection. Combined with a Secure DNS (DNSSEC support/Simple DNSCrypt), HTTPS Everywhere offers a reasonable secure environment, specially if your browser supports Encrypted SNI. Is it necessary to have this extension? No, but it is still nice to have it on all the time to avoid HSTS attacks and ISP code injections.
