I'm trying to get rid of my news addiction (so far failing spectacularly...), And one of my plans would be to have a couple of sources that do not push a constant stream of crappy news, but occasional selected high quality articles. At the moment I have Quanta magazine and The Economist Leaders on my RSS reader news section. Does anyone have any improvements or additions to this list - the niche of the articles can be almost anything, as long as it is only a few per week and quality is top notch?

  Firefox's `dom.security.https_only_mode` disagrees with you. As far as it's concerned Nautilus doesn't exist. ;-) Edit: actually it upgrades to HTTPS without complaint! Something might be wrong with your software/internet.

    As of now, Nautilus redirects to https on Chrome.

    Ahh, it seems something was going on on my side causing Firefox to complain about insecure elements.
