That's because HTTPS Everywhere doesn't blindly attempt HTTPS connections, it redirects based on a massive set of rules. That's also how it accounts for more complex changes than just the protocol portion of the URL, like add

Oh good. I wondered if that was the case, but suppressed the urge to ask since people often don't take kindly to assumptions that their actual views must be sarcastic. There are also plenty of inaccurate conceptions of capitalism/

I'm not a lawyer and I've disagreed with some antitrust efforts in the past, but I don't think Amazon is even close to what could reasonably be considered monopolistic in the book industry. Amazon is huge, but it has many com
