Https everywhere VS Smart https

Smart HTTPS. HTTPS Everywhere is developed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation which is a Soros front.

>Why use a whitelist of sites that support HTTPS? Why can't you try to use HTTPS for every last site, and only fall back to HTTP if it isn't available?
>There are several problems with the idea of trying to automatically detect HTTPS on every site. There is no guarantee that sites are going to give the same response via HTTPS that they give via HTTP. Also, it's not possible to test for HTTPS in real time without introducing security vulnerabilities (What should the extension do if the HTTPS connection attempt fails? Falling back to insecure HTTP isn't safe). And in some cases, HTTPS Everywhere has to perform quite complicated transformations on URIs for example until recently the Wikipedia rule had to turn an address like en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web into one like secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/World_Wide_Web because HTTPS was not available on Wikipedia's usual domains.

don't they both do the exact same thing?

No

whats the main difference

got any source to back that claim up, chief?

smart https load the https version of site and if it doesn't work it will load http version

I just rely on HSTS for the most part. Additionally, my browser happens to use https as the default URL scheme. To access unencrypted sites I have to preprend the URL with http:// explicitily. Minor inconvenience for the security tradeoff.

but that is what https everywhere does....

I have a limited understanding of this kinda shit, but I've heard that smart https tries to simply change the URL to be prefixed with HTTPS, whereas https everywhere checks each domain connected to and enables https for every single one of them.
Pic related. This shows multiple places I am connecting to and confirms that the connection to each of them is secure. Does Smart HTTPS also do this same thing?

Https everywhere uses a list. If the site isnt on the list it doesn't work.
Smart https will always try for https. You can also block mixed content and use a whitelist and blacklist.

Smart https can check each domain too and block unencrypted connections if you want.

You can also change the amount of time it takes to revert back to http (good to have a longer time for slow sites).
There's more useful options too

Neither. They use too much RAM for something that isn't needed anymore.

>too much RAM
Are you using a computer from the 90's?
Tell me how to block mixed content without it.

Not that user, but I would like to add that HTTPS Everywhere uses much more RAM than Smart HTTPS since it has to load lists and rulesets into RAM. Even then, HTTPS Everywhere only uses a couple megabytes.

I noticed https everywhere takes ages to react to sudden changes. If a website only recently changed to https, https everywhere won't enable it because it has no idea https exists yet.

both are shit

this is a troll post, right?

Why is smart https shit?

>they dont do much anyway
encryption aint much, hey?
saving your credit card or personal details from being leaked by a site because it slips up and decides to serve you http and you dont have it forced?
eh, i didnt need that money anyway.
identity fraud? pssch, don't worry about it.

They are both useless now days.

((())) Consider the following:

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)

– In 2011, EFF received $1 million from Google in a settlement over the Google Buzz class action lawsuit.

– The Ford Foundation contributed $500,000 to the non-profit between 2013 and 2016 according to the Foundation’s grants page.

– George Soros’ Open Society Institute lists another $620,000 in grants since 2008 according to OSI’s grants page.

And also the program: “Surveillance, Privacy, and Freedom of Expression”

· Katitza Rodriguez, International Rights Director, Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Rodriguez gave a sanitized version of EFF's history, claiming that it was founded to fight for Internet freedom. That's not really the case; it was founded to use the ACLU litigation model to try to exonerate and de-criminalize phreakers and hackers who had stolen security documents from phone companies, including their plans for dealing with public emergencies, all described in the very self-serving and tendentious book about them by Bruce Sterling.

Hence, this post is based on truth.

There are many more sites that dont default to https. I would rather my ISP only know that I connect to those sites and not be able to see everything I do.

It's a public forum literally who gives a shit

I just told you I give a shit. I don't want my every move or post to be available in plain text for literally anyone to intercept.

OP asks to turn https to http where the former isn't available.

smarthttps does it.

(EfF) everywhere also does it, but it has a big whitelist for GOOGLE AND OTHER SEMITIC GROUPS.

Both do the same, smart one with a little kb scripting engine, while eFf goes the silly way of always updating whitelists... hmmm... BUT UNUSED RAM IS WASTED RAM GOYM

I think you should watch this

Can't you just type in Jow Forums.org in your browser

Have end users really gotten this fucking retarded

Https everywhere has an option to force https to all connections and if a site doesn't support it it just warns you. Nothing to do with a "list"

Why would I want to type that everytime for all the sites that don't default to https when I can automate it? I also don't have to worry about it when going to new sites. It can also block mixed content.
You're retarded for wanting to do it manually.

that's what TLS and HTTPS protocols do. Not some meme plugin.

https doesn't hide the fact that i'm using https so that's why i don't use encryption because everyone is trying to crack encryption so i just don't use encryption because no one is looking at unencrypted data because everyone wants encrypted data to crack

that totally makes sense
hide it on plain sight

unironically a great source, fag.
the frogs really were turned gay, and corporate media lied about iraq and russiagate

Jow Forums in a nutshell

I just do it manually.
Fuck niggers.
