The EFF have released an update to their handy HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox. It turns on SSL for most popular sites and can be configured to handle many more.
I found a couple interesting notes in the change log.
0.9.4:
* Disable Cisco by default
* Disable Google Custom Search Engines (they don’t work)
Why disable Cisco? This is not the sort of behavior I would have expected from the EFF, especially as I was just railing on Facebook for the same thing the other day. Google at least gets an explanation.
Last time I tried using the plug-in on cisco.com it wasn’t working on the whole website. When logging in and trying to download softwares it would not work as expected. This is probably one of the reason they disabled it maybe? Who knows.
