Android & Firefox

| My Android Firefox is slow and sluggish, and makes everything else on
| the phone slow and sluggish too, so I generally use the standard
| browser

I'm lazy, so I use what's given to me (Chrome).  But there is a reason
to consider Firefox on Android: EFF's "HTTPS Everywhere".

  <https://www.eff.org/Https-everywhere>

The spooks really do seem to be vacuuming everything they can: it's
not just paranoia.

Of course the meta-data isn't protected by HTTPS Everywhere (or our
laws).

Time for a new HTTPS that hides everything in the URL after the domain
name?

"The Harper government's national security adviser says Canada's
eavesdropping agency did not spy on travellers at an airport, but
collected metadata – data about data. Stephen Rigby says
collecting such information is legal."
