Hi.
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29898 is about adding a user preference for HTTP vs. HTTPS while a user is logged in.
I'd really like to see this bug resolved, as I regularly encounter HTTP links and the lack of auto-redirection is becoming a larger and larger usability problem for me. (I don't use HTTPS-Everywhere on my personal computer.)
Why isnt HTTPS Everywhere a good solution for you?
I've been using Google Chrome lately. :-(
But it looks like HTTPS Everywhere now finally supports Chrome: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere, so I suppose I can resolve this for myself.
Still, it'd be nice if it were done for everyone. When users customize their own browsers like this, it actually slows down widespread adoption of a "new feature" like HTTPS. That is, if HTTPS Everywhere didn't exist at all, the large number of techy Firefox users getting annoyed by hitting http links would be more helpful in getting auto-redirection working.
Anyway, off I go to install that extension.
