Pale Moon forum

Having menu access and selection issues with EFF's "HTTPS Everywhere". I contacted EFF and below is their response. I would appreciate your attention into this matter. Thanks.

Thanks for contacting the EFF!

Some Pale Moon folks filed a bug a while back claiming we just needed to update our manifest file to allow HTTPS Everywhere to say it's compatible with Pale Moon, and everything should work. We did that, and it seems to have worked for some folks. We'd like to support it, but we don't have the resources to do so. I'd encourage you to reach out to the developers within the Pale Moon community to submit pull requests on GitHub to increase comtability.

Thanks,

Github submission would be an easy enough route. But I think most of us that know a bit about how things work are not fans of HTTPS Everywhere - it's a flawed design. So, I'd say don't expect a fix unless there is a big fan of that extension using PM that knows how and wants to fix it. It's not realistic to expect the general Pale Moon user community to support every extension on AMO - we need to focus on the best ones. [this is just the opinion of a PM user]

Well if you don't care for breaking pages from time to time (because e.g. you break 1000 times more often pages with RequestPolicy), only real downside of https everywhere is that obviously it covers things only with rules created, not other websites (and that the list can't go infinte), and it also add a bit of processor consumption. For whatever is on the list it guarantee 100% https without need of hsts.

squarefractal's fork of HTTPS Everywhere is now LIVE on the Pale Moon Add-ons Site.. So have fun! As well as being subject to Automatic Updates via the Add-ons Manager! If you don't have it then please go to: https://addons.palemoon.org/extensions/privacy-and-security/encrypted-web/. Also, remember to remove the original version before installing as they MAY conflict.
