- by Firefox user 14158621, a year agoRated 2 out of 5The extension does as advertised, but I can say with certainty that it is inherently inconvenient.
There are some websites with a certificate that default to http, but once loaded as https it does not work whatsoever. I encountered far more 404 errors than I would have if I hadn't installed this extension.
Another thing bothering me is that HTTPS Everywhere will try to load a website in https even if the certificate has expired which makes that all the more pointless since an expired certificate is as good as no certificate whatsoever.
It was widely recommended to me by security and privacy enthusiasts and I can state with certainty that I do not recommend it, it is far more cumbersome than it has worth and usefulness under those circumstances. - by kthywin, a year agoRated 2 out of 5I would love for it to work for me, but I have just had two sites I was trying to get to, blocked because they don't have https sites! Since I can't get to these sites with it, I will have to discontinue it for now. I will try it again!!
- by Sans Undertale, a year agoRated 2 out of 5Eh, not as good as Smart HTTPS or the HTTPS features of Firefox Desktop.
- by kloepelm, a year agoRated 2 out of 5Current version (2020.11.17) breaks Ctrl-F functionality in web pages. It's been over two months and it's still not fixed.

- by JohnMichaels, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5The name of this add-on is very misleading, if a website has not already setup HTTPS this add-on does nothing. And in 2020 it is extremely rare for a website to have setup HTTPS but still use an unecrypted HTTP. This add-on does nothing to 99% of the websites people visit.

- by Firefox user 15434817, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5why do i need it if i have Enabled DNS over HTTPS (cloudflare) ?
- by Jeffree, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5Misleading name. It only switches to HTTPS for websites that are on a predefined list.
I recommend "HTTPS Already" instead. - by Firefox user 15857016, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5
- by Chris Chang, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5After using this addons for years, the latest update broke being able to open http sites. So... goodbye HTTPS Everywhere.
- by dmitrych, 2 years agoRated 2 out of 5Opens a new tab after update, stealing focus from the current tab, and there's no option to turn this off.

- by Rulatir, 4 years agoRated 2 out of 5Doesn't work with imaves. When I load a page over HTTPS that has images in it with insecure http:// urls, I expect these src attributes to be converted in DOM, so that the browser will no longer display the yellow exclamation mark warning me about mixed content. I can see even in the console that these images STILL load through HTTP. They only load through HTTPS when I do right click -> show image.
Additionally, the preferences page is mostly useless. It _hints_ that there is more functionality (some kind of "rules"), but there is no way to edit those, or the way to do so is undiscoverable. - by Firefox user 14132855, 4 years agoRated 2 out of 5
