A tip for anyone considering using HTTPS-Everywhere: You should also grab HTTPS Finder[1] to work with it. HTTPS-Everywhere forces you into a secure connection when you attempt an insecure one (e.g. clicking on http://en.wikipedia.org http://en.wikipedia.org will still make the request under HTTPS) on any domain in its database. You can also add additional rulesets for other domains. What HTTPS Finder does is send, when you make an HTTP request, an additional request to see if the server will also serve over HTTPS, and it will redirect you there. If you also have HTTPS-Everywhere, HTTPS Finder gives you the option of adding a ruleset to it for that domain so that you will always make the secure connection first. You can also whitelist the domain from future HTTPS Finder checks if you find that the secure connection serves no-or-different content, or if it otherwise causes errors.
