Any Tor users around here?
You might find HTTP Nowhere useful.

True religion, which dares to acknowledge death and challenge the way we live, is an attempt to wake up.

Re: New privacy addon
Curiosity - how is HTTP-nowhere any different from HTTPS-everywhere? Just wondering

Re: New privacy addon
HTTPS Everywhere tries to push you to HTTPS whenever it is available. If HTTPS is not available, it falls back to HTTP. You can write extra rules for places you know HTTPS is available.
HTTP Nowhere allows you to toggle a 'no HTTP at all' mode, which breaks your browsing if HTTPS is not available. You can write exception rules if you want. Apparently it even picks up traffic from other addons.
You probably wouldn't browse in no-HTTP mode all the time, but it may be useful when using Tor, or testing for mixed content on a website you're developing, or just if you're curious about what traffic your browser and addons are sending.
I suppose HTTP Nowhere is not all that much different from adding * to Options-Advanced-HTTPS-Behavior in NoScript, except it is easier to switch it on and off.

Re: New privacy addon
Ok, I got it. Basically it disables the fall back feature of HTTPS Everywhere and as you said the option in NS, good to know thank you for that clarification.
