With HTTPS Everywhere, Is Firefox Now the Most Secure Mobile Browser?

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday February 4, 2014 @05:09PM from the browser-wars-go-mobile dept.

Peter Eckersley writes "Over at EFF, we just released a version of our HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox for Android. HTTPS Everywhere upgrades your insecure web requests to HTTPS on many thousands of sites, and this means that Firefox on Android with HTTPS Everywhere is now by far the most secure browser against dragnet surveillance attacks like those performed by the NSA, GCHQ, and other intelligence agencies. Android users should install the Firefox app and then add HTTPS Everywhere to it. iPhone and iPad users will unfortunately have to switch to Android to get this level of security because Apple has locked Mozilla Firefox out of their platforms."

Of course they did.. Anyone ever try to get an App on Itunes? The approval team are ran by a bunch dumb Indians who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. The people above them are even more retarded and don't understand basic software engineering concepts. In fact the entire company, is ran by "holier than thou" pompous assholes who play god.
It takes literally 5 minutes to deploy an App on Google Play. It takes months to get something on I-tunes.
To All Developers: Stay far away from Apple, and hope they die the overpriced under-powered death they deserve.
To All Developers: Stick with android and urge everyone to throw away their Apple products.
And no I'm not RMS :(
