You no longer need HTTPS Everywhere to set HTTPS by default! Major browsers now offer native support for an HTTPS only mode.

In January 2023, HTTPS Everywhere will be de-listed in add-on and extension stores. The last releases are available here: eff.org/https-everywhere
All major browsers have a setting to enforce HTTPS by default. This reflects the "EASE Mode" the extension has.
We expect browsers to mature their HTTPS-First and HTTPS-Only features along with with aggressive mixed content blocking. We imagine as HTTPS-first becomes more normal, the state of encryption while you browse will be even more efficient than extension in the near future.
If you are curious about the referenced research the from the Chrome and Firefox teams on HTTPS. Read the following papers for more details:

We really appreciate all of the messages thanking the people behind this extension as we journey to sunset in January 2023. Your support and usage showed that HTTPS doesn't have to be hard.

Thanks friend.
Our first logo (2010) for HTTPS Everywhere. When we were still listing the sites we supported in a shortlist! Now, most of the web offers HTTPS.

Release 2022.5.24 is out on Chrome, Edge, and Opera.

We ran into some issues releasing to the Firefox Add-On Store, we are working on amending that. But in the mean time our self-hosted extension is listed here:
eff.org/https-everywhere
Even though Chrome does not have an allow-list feature, the Chromium based Edge browser has nuance similar to the modes given in HTTPS Everywhere. Where it tries HTTPS if supported or completely blocks HTTP.

"Beginning in M94, Chrome will offer HTTPS-First Mode, which will attempt to upgrade all page loads to HTTPS and display a full-page warning before loading sites that don’t support it." 🙌 blog.chromium.org/2021/07/in…
