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

I'll be a bit sad to see one of my favourite extensions go but it has served its time and purpose and honestly the EFF could be developing all sorts of cooler browser extensions to further the privacy cause. I am guessing when it comes to Tor the EFF will support with https everywhere until ESR gets https only mode but until then I guess it will still be there.
