The EFF is announcing deprecation of their plugin https everywhere

Hello everyone, welcome to another blog post ehre on the blog. Today, I’m doing some news notes, and while some may be here, others may not. Today, in this post, the EFF is announcing that their https everywhere plugin will be discontinued (deprecated) in 2022, so you have time.

We know that the web is going full https, and I announced in june that we were running on full SSL redirect. That blog post talks about and links to a video of someone at the company talking about how to do this. There may be other instructions for other control panels out there, feel free to check it out.

While the browsers are updating now on a regular basis if turned on which mine is by default, maybe we should have it disabled earlier than that? I know the article Electronic Frontier Foundation will deprecate HTTPS Everywhere plugin has the details on why this may not be the case, and links to other sources of interest and backstory.

Do you think the deprecation should happen sooner, or do you think 2022 is reasonable? Let’s discuss!There’s no wrong answer here.
