Hi malware fighters,
Joined initiative by Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Tor Project to encrypt your communications with a number of major websites. Extension for Fx and flock can be downloaded here: https://eff.org/files/https-everywhere-0.0.2.xpi
The eventual idea seems to allow an Adblock Plus style model, where users can submit and exchange rule files and eventually create subscriptions for the sites they use that partially support SSL. Specifically NoScript extension users and users of the RequestPolicy add-on may like the idea,
From one of the makers of the extension: http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/May-2010/msg00293.html
Currently works with:
* Google Search
* Wikipedia
* Twitter
* Facebook
* The New York Times
* The Washington Post
* EFF

Hi users of this add-on,
Installed it in flock, and are about to test it and give my final opinion on it somewhat later.
Upon installing I got an error for addProgress listener and a crash via nsBreakpadService - a browser trunk component:
Error: [Exception… “Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIWebProgress.addProgressListener]” nsresult: “0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)” location: “JS frame :: file:///C:/Users/luntrus/AppData/Roaming/Flock/Browser/Profiles/1t…vh5.default/extensions/https-everywhere@eff.org/components/https-everywhere.js :: anonymous :: line 193” data: no]
Source File: file:///C:/Users/pol/AppData/Roaming/Flock/Browser/Profiles/1th^^h5.default/extensions/https-everywhere@eff.org/components/https-everywhere.js
Line: 193 which translates to:
Code: Select all
dls.addProgressListener(this, CI.nsIWebProgress.NOTIFY_STATE_REQUEST);
Is this a bug or due to the workings of NS and/or RP extension…
The nsBreakpad Service had an “orderedIncidents” error - in other words an ordinary browser crash,
second time the browser with the installed extension launched and was tarted up OK…
Now runs fine,
