EFF has a very nice privacy enhancing add-on for Firefox/Chrome that forces the browser to use encrypted connections whenever they are available, https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere.

Having this as a standard option (of course, selectable by the user in the Settings menu) in the Sailfish browser would be an excellent way to differentiate from those not-so-privacy-friendly competing mobile operating systems. Shouldn't be that hard to have as a normal add-on either (related to question https://together.jolla.com/question/901/proposal-add-support-for-mobile-firefox-add-ons-to-the-sailfish-browser/ )

Couldn't find the correct GUID for the sailfish browser, but toolkit@mozilla.org seems to be a wildcard of some sort). Complains it's not compatible with "Nightly 23.0" otherwise

Quick testing didn't show any problems, but I've only run it for 5 mins. It seemed to force jolla.com to https at least :-)
