A browser extension that encrypts your communications with many websites that offer HTTPS but still allow unencrypted connections.

HTTPS Everywhere

Getting Started

Get the packages you need and install a git hook to run tests before push:

bash install-dev-dependencies.sh

Run all the tests:

bash test.sh

Run the latest code and rulesets in a standalone Firefox profile:

bash test/firefox.sh --justrun

Run the latest code and rulesets in a standalone profile for a specific version of Firefox:

FIREFOX=/path/to/firefox bash test/firefox.sh --justrun

Run the latest code and rulesets in a standalone Chromium profile:

bash test/chromium.sh --justrun

Run the latest code and rulesets in a standalone Tor Browser profile:

bash test/tor path_to_tor_browser.tar.xz

Build the Firefox extension as a .xpi package:

bash makexpi.sh

Build the Chromium extension as a .crx package:

bash makecrx.sh

Both of the build commands store their output under pkg/.

Precommit Testing

One can run the available test suites automatically by enabling the precommit hook provided with:

ln -s ../../hooks/precommit .git/hooks/pre-commit
