- ffpip 6y agoYes, but one less extension with access to all your history, passwords and all other info.
- AntiImperialist 6y agoI'm not sure if I trust EFF any less than I trust Mozilla.
- aaplok 6y agoI am the same but in this case it is about trusting (EFF and Mozilla) more than Mozilla. You have to trust Mozilla either way.
- ffpip 6y agoI already trust Mozilla with everything. I do everything on my browser. It is always better to reduce extensions. I look forward to a day when I have nothing but uBlock Origin in my browser
- hpfr 6y agoWebExtensions have permissions and I doubt the EFF requests passwords and history for this extension. It’s also open-source, and although installing it from addons.mozilla.org could introduce some sort of MITM opportunity, as a recommended extension Mozilla puts it through a review process, so it’s about as tame as an extension this capable can get. But yes, it is always nice to reduce extensions installed.
- abdullahkhalids 6y agoI have been using HTTPS Everywhere since forever. Here are the permissions required: * Access browser tabs * Access browser activity during navigation * Access your data for all websites So can be pretty devastating if it went rogue, which I doubt.
- ffpip 6y agoPasswords come under 'access all sites', which HTTPs everywhere needs.

- kevincox 6y agoReading the docs (and my memory) HTTPS Everywhere works based on a predefined list of sites that should be upgraded. The nice thing about the new Firefox feature is that the browser won't make any insecure connections unless I explicitly allow it.
