Finally, the https everywhere add on is going to be deprecated in favor of the native HTTPS Only mode feature implemented in modern browsers.

this makes sense, but I wonder what will happen now to the Tor browser after this

Well, since the Tor bowser is based on Firefox which has an HTTPS-Only mode, I think that eventually the Tor browser will get rid of it.

tor uses a really old version of firefox, will take a while for native https-only to be implemented
