EFF has a long-term mission to encrypt as much of the Web as possible — in fact, to encrypt all of it. We have been making quite a lot of progress.

HTTPS Everywhere, the browser extension we produce in collaboration with the Tor Project and an awesome community of volunteers, is now used by more than 2.5 million people around the world.1 Today we released version 3.0 of HTTPS Everywhere, which adds encryption protection to 1,500 more websites, twice as many as previous stable releases. Our current estimate is that HTTPS Everywhere 3 should encrypt at least a hundred billion page views in the next year, and trillions of individual HTTP requests.

I like this project, keep up the good work. One of the few add-ons that is worth installing.

I noticed it's 3.0 for Firefox and still Alpha for Chrome...even though it's alpha has the plugin for Chrome been updated?

Couldn't find any information on the download site

I don't think Chrome has been updated.
