With HTTPS Everywhere, Is Firefox Now the Most Secure Mobile Browser?

Peter Eckersley writes "Over at EFF, we just released a version of our HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox for Android. HTTPS Everywhere upgrades your insecure web requests to HTTPS on many thousands of sites, and this means that Firefox on Android with HTTPS Everywhere is now by far the most secure browser against dragnet surveillance attacks like those performed by the NSA, GCHQ, and other intelligence agencies. Android users should install the Firefox app and then add HTTPS Everywhere to it. iPhone and iPad users will unfortunately have to switch to Android to get this level of security because Apple has locked Mozilla Firefox out of their platforms."

It was highly illogical for you to blockquote all of that bullshit, Spock. I am unsure which one of you is the dumber one.

Hey allaunjsilverfox2. Some kind of malware has infected your PC and is spamming Slashdot over, and over again. Perhaps you should use a malware cleaner to clean it up. Might I recommend AVG or Spybot?

Dear MyCleanPC,

I will admit that I was skeptical that a piece of software could cure my cancer, bring back my wife and prevent me from beating my daughter but, based on dozens of posts on Slashdot, I'm willing to give it a try.

Wow. It could also be the end of Country music as we know it.

Re:Dear MyCleanPC,

[somenickname]

Well, nowhere in the glowing reviews did I see that it would also bring back my dog so, country music still has its place.

Sorry can't be a hipster.. too damn old. I've been a Mac guy since errr.. like 20 years ago now.

The hipster movement is traced back to the 1940... you know back before it was popular.

GO BRONCOS!

AVG or Spybot? That's crazy. They pale in comparison to the obviously superior MyCleanPC!

Why do you think he takes every opportunity to spread the good news?
