Safer Browsing On Android With EFF



Finding ways to browse the internet securely has become of great importance with the Edward Snowden leaks. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has offered HTTPS Everywhere add-on for desktop browsers for a long time. But as of yesterday, you can install the HTTPS Everywhere on Firefox for Android. 

It automatically seeks out HTTPS connections on supported websites, and when there is, webpages will be loaded over a secure connection. So you no longer need to worry about third-parties or the NSA intercepting your traffic. To install the addon you need the latest version of Firefox for Android on your phone, then install the plugin via the EFF website. 

Once it has been installed, firefox will display an icon in the address bar.
