Subject: Re: Browser Security Tool: HTTPS Only (Why, How, Open
Source, Python)
Obviously you never read https://httpsonly.github.io/
1. The "Other Interesting Tools" section has tools to easily switch
proxy of your browser(FoxyProxy, etc). You want HTTPS-Only internet,
that's what this tool does; you want normal internet, just click that
FoxyProxy icon(yes, it's really easy).
2. The "What HTTPS Doesn’t Do" section has very clear words about
HTTPS limitations. Even though it's from US government, it's actually
very clear words.
Best Wishes,
