Just a quick post to link people to this nice little add-on called "HTTPS Everywhere": https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere Stable for Firefox, alpha version for chrome and chromium. From their site: "Our code is partially based on the STS implementation from the groundbreaking NoScript project (there are other STS implementations out there, too). HTTPS Everywhere aims to have a simpler user experience than NoScript, and to support complex rewriting rules that allow services like Google Search and Wikipedia to be redirected to HTTPS without breaking anything."
