HTTPS Everywhere Firefox addon brings encryption to the web

Inspired by Google’s encrypted search option, EFF and the Tor Project today launched a public beta of a new Firefox extension called HTTPS Everywhere that redirects all HTTP traffic to HTTPS for supported sites.

HTTPS Everywhere is able to encrypt most or all of the browser's communications with sites such as:

Google Search
Wikipedia
Paypal
Twitter and Identi.ca
Facebook
EFF and Tor
Ixquick, DuckDuckGo, Scroogle and other small search engines

HTTPSEverywhere

It's possible to extend support to several more sites by creating simple XML files with the rewrite rules and placing them inside the HTTPSEverywhereUserRules subdirectory in your Firefox profile directory. Details on how to write new rules are explained here.

Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event.

However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run.
