Reviews for HTTPS Everywhere
HTTPS Everywhere by EFF Technologists
Rated 3 out of 5
This was a great add-on when first created, but lack of innovation has made it fall behind over the years. I quit using it a while ago in favor of Smart HTTPS, which does the same thing but provides two very important extra features: it automatically retries without HTTPS if the page fails to load, and it whitelists the site so it won't try again next time. This allows you to have the safety of using HTTPS when possible, but also prevents breakage, which can range from annoying to problematic (in the case of a basic user). It's a shame this add-on never provided similar functionality, as I'd prefer to use it over the other due to being provided by the EFF vs some random developer.

Here's my `top` with HTTPS Everywhere enabled:
PID PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
9036 20 0 14.6g 218564 107332 S 0.0 1.3 0:25.73 WebExtensions
...and when the add-on is disabled:
PID PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
9036 20 0 8970992 199000 107204 S 0.3 1.2 0:26.00 WebExtensions
I have no idea why it needs to commit 14Gb of virtual memory, but that does not sound reasonable at all. I'll keep it switched off for now to see if the overall performance improves.

El complemento es funcional respecto a los sitios Web donde no haya implementado https (seguro).
En algunos sitios Web´s el acceso es bloqueado por el complemento HTTPS everywhere.
www.orangepi.org (microordenadores)
En otros sitios Web´s el acceso esta desbloqueado por el complemento HTTPS everywhere.
www.raspberrypi.org (microordenadores)
Enlaces rotos del "foro" en orangepi.org no este actualizados o esten dirigidos a otros dominios que no tienen implementado https por defecto teniendo que bloquear el acceso completo al sitio Web, entonces ¿como creo una regla para incluirlo en la lista permitidos?
Deshabilitando la funcion HTTPS del complemento y activar HTTPS desde el navegador para acceder al sitio Web ocurre lo mismo.
Aunque menos quebraderos desactivando el modo solo HTTPS everywhere y HTTPS navegador para un sitio en particular. - by Rico Liebscher, 9 days agoRated 5 out of 5
