HTTPS Everywhere Encrypts Web Traffic For Secure Browsing [Extension]

The Electronic Frontier Foundation and Tor Project have launched a new Firefox extension called HTTPS Everywhere. Inspired by Google’s encrypted search option, this add-on will simply encrypt the traffic to some of the many popular sites, including Wikipedia, Twitter, Facebook, NYTimes, PayPal, Mozilla, Google Search, Google Services, and many others.
