-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2018-1da6c18f63 2018-06-29 08:42:10.385517 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mozilla-https-everywhere Product : Fedora 28 Version : 2018.6.21 Release : 1.fc28 URL : https://eff.org/https-everywhere Summary : HTTPS enforcement extension for Mozilla Firefox Description : HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.
Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.
The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.
The Fedora RPM package includes the legacy XUL version, no longer updated, for SeaMonkey users.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information:
Wow, it's been a while, huh? I really thought it would update from the EFF website. Apparently not! I'd've had the previous one out, but there was a bug when talking to websites with a hostname of "." that caused an infinite loop. Anyway, lots of ruleset updates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog:
