Encrypt the Web with the HTTPS Everywhere Firefox Extension

"Today EFF and the Tor Project are launching a public beta of a new Firefox extension called HTTPS Everywhere.

This Firefox extension was inspired by the launch of Google's encrypted search option. We wanted a way to ensure that every search our browsers sent was encrypted. At the same time, we were also able to encrypt most or all of the browser's communications with some other sites."

Surely the site you are visiting has to support https for that to work? So calling it HTTPS Everywhere is a bit of an overstatement!

Indeed - it should be "HTTPS at

• Google Search
• Wikipedia
• Twitter
• Facebook
• The New York Times
• The Washington Post
• Paypal
• EFF
• Tor
• Ixquick (at the moment)"

A misleading name perhaps, but it is an interesting idea which is in early beta.
