From 1edcbca46ec521526dc442a024bff51f83fe5784 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Keck Date: Sat, 4 Jan 2025 06:46:37 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Readme: Remove HTTPS Everywhere add-on The add-on isn't maintained anymore for years. It also isn't necessary anymore, since Firefox now has the `dom.security.https_only_mod` config to enable a HTTPS-only mode, and since https is nowadays pretty much the default anyway. --- README.md | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 9bab168c..e988abfc 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -422,8 +422,6 @@ Here is a list of the most essential security and privacy enhancing add-ons that * [uBlock Origin](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/) * For additional protection, enable more blocklists in the addon dashboard. * For additional protection, set it to [Hard mode](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode) (experienced users) - the default is [Easy mode](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-easy-mode) -* [HTTPS Everywhere](https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere) - * For additional protection, enable `Block all unencrypted requests` in the toolbar button menu.
