HTTPS Everywhere has released its 1.0 version, moving out of beta and boasting secure HTTPS connections for over 1000 popular websites.
Last winter I wrote about HTTPS Everywhere, a Firefox Plugin that will ensure your information is securely encrypted over the Internet when using a variety of popular websites.
HTTPS Everywhere was popularized in response to Firesheep, a Firefox plugin that anyone could install that could "sniff" usernames and passwords from those passing data over HTTP on an open Wi-Fi network. Using HTTPS Everywhere, your session is automatically made secure on over 1000 sites including Wikipedia, The New York Times, Facebook, Google, Twitter, TOR and others.
