[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello, I realize this is a very minor issue, but I believe it is now redundant to include the extension HTTPS Everywhere by default, since it has been built-in to Firefox (and by extension, Icecat), for some time now. Rather than including the extension by default, should the setting for HTTPS-Only Mode be to enable it in all windows by default?

Hi, you are right, there is a patch about it:

But the list isn't very talkative.
