You no longer need HTTPS Everywhere to set HTTPS by default! Major browsers now offer native support for an HTTPS only mode. https://t.co/pIhVD4a6V1

If you are curious about the referenced research the from the Chrome and Firefox teams on HTTPS. Read the following papers for more details: Google: https://t.co/4J4y4kTYu1 Mozilla:

We expect browsers to mature their HTTPS-First and HTTPS-Only features along with with aggressive mixed content blocking. We imagine as HTTPS-first becomes more normal, the state of encryption while you browse will be even more efficient than extension in the near future.

Safari also has "HTTPS-First" as well since Safari 15. We are not aware if there is a "HTTPS-Only" setting though.

Firefox tries HTTPS first in Private Browsing mode. Like Chrome, they also indicate making this a default experience sometime in the future. https://t.co/Zq56AJphZW

Edge appears to have HTTPS-First and HTTPS-Only settings explicitly stated for the user to turn on.

Chrome tested "HTTPS-First" temporarily before going all in on a HTTPS-Only mode that is in it's settings. https://t.co/CMXj4w8reu

By "trying HTTPS first", we mean without the user needing to turn on anything or having to deal with the browser config flags

With "Try HTTPS First", browsers handle this a little differently. This mode is considered less disruptive, but as HTTPS continues to be adopted, this will be much less of an issue.

In January 2023, HTTPS Everywhere will be de-listed in add-on and extension stores. The last releases are available here: https://t.co/MUH9eH3pto All major browsers have a setting to enforce HTTPS by default. This reflects the "EASE Mode" the extension has.

We really appreciate all of the messages thanking the people behind this extension as we journey to sunset in January 2023. Your support and usage showed that HTTPS doesn't have to be hard. "So long old friend" - Chrome user Thanks friend.

Our first logo (2010) for HTTPS Everywhere. When we were still listing the sites we supported in a shortlist! Now, most of the web offers HTTPS. https://t.co/pIhVD3Svwr

We want to see a little more uniformity with these features as they mature and will advocate for allow-listing. We do not sunset the extension until January 2023, and there has been progress made with the HTTPS Only modes in browser. Thank you to all of our supporters out there.

Even though Chrome does not have an allow-list feature, the Chromium based Edge browser has nuance similar to the modes given in HTTPS Everywhere. Where it tries HTTPS if supported or completely blocks HTTP.

Also, Firefox desktop has an "manage exceptions" area for allow-listing in HTTPS-Only mode.

Some updates on HTTPS only mode in major browsers. Firefox for Android is now fully equipped with this feature: https://t.co/g45x3ZtR0b

Release 2022.5.24 is out on Chrome, Edge, and Opera. https://t.co/30zQlm9h9K We ran into some issues releasing to the Firefox Add-On Store, we are working on amending that. But in the mean time our self-hosted extension is listed here: https://t.co/hOxFmuFVeN

"Beginning in M94, Chrome will offer HTTPS-First Mode, which will attempt to upgrade all page loads to HTTPS and display a full-page warning before loading sites that don’t support it." 🙌
