New Browsing Tool Keeps Firesheep At Bay

The Electronic Frontier Foundation released an updated version of its HTTPS Everywhere, a Firefox extension that encrypts communications with major Web sites. The new version, 0.9.0, offers improved protection against Firesheep, EFF said on its Web site. The plug-in has added improved protection for Facebook, allowing users to cordon off stricter Facebook rules. The plugin won’t work for many Web sites that either don t support HTTPS, or for which policies haven’t been created.
