...because they won!


During my presentation on Firefox in April[1] I mentioned the HTTPS 
Everywhere addon, but also that Firefox has add some HTTP enforcement 
for maybe would did not really need the extra addon. But I needed to to 
more investigation.

And apparently I COULD see the future! EFF is sunsetting HTTPS 
Everywhere in January 2023 because all the major browsers enforce HTTPS 
well enough that it is no longer needed.

Now time to pick some lotto numbers, and place my life savings in a 
crypto-coin initial offering. ;)
