The reason why Gmail doesn't default to https is that it would consume a lot of resources on both ends and then you'd say Gmail is too slow.

It just takes a little extra effort to remember to add the https when you're bookmarking a site. @Lappy: That is a great extension, and it does many things that a Google user would love including forwarding to the https. @lightman: Just make sure you don't enable too many of those scripts...I noticed a huge slowdown when I did that. @Alex: I thought the same thing, and it still boggles my mind why Google wouldn't be enforcing the secure connections. I'm pretty sure that most browsers support it just fine (even mobile ones). @dkong: That’s what I normally do, too.

I mean if you're a big name like Google, you've got people employed full-time just to work on security. How is it that ALL connections aren't encrypted?

It offers the option of using https:// instead of http:// on (possibly) all the Google sites that allow it, along with TONS of other useful options. If you're a Firefox user and a Google fan, this extension is a must. For all you Firefox users, I strongly recommend the use of a fantastic extension called CustomizeGoogle ( [customizegoogle.com] ).
