So question for the security folks on here. Is HTTPS Everywhere still needed on Firefox? I've seen mentions here and there online, but I've never seen a specific answer or setting that would mean I could toss it.

@KingDeadWolf Firefox has a built-in https-only mode now (though that'd be more like http nowhere)

@noiob So it would be a problem if a site is http-only then?

@KingDeadWolf nah it'll just ask you if you want to override it

@noiob I had no idea HTTPS Everywhere was being retired. I guess it's fine to try out the Firefox mode and see how it goes. Thanks!
