Maybe cause it's not part of CentOS, or even Linux? Just a guess?

No clue.

You'd have better luck asking in the https-everywhere community.

No clue, but probably yes.

Most people don't even know what SSL is.

> What's youre opinion? Or answer? :

I think this approach is going nowhere and SSL/TLS encrypting images and
icons is [resource] expensive and pointless in 99.44% of cases.

https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/faq/ answers this.

Go for it; the "xpi" file is actually just a Zip archive and the
contents should all be readable text.

> 3) Can someone trust this Add-on? Is it safe to install/use?

I've been using it since it was originally announced' I've never
had cause to question its safety. It operates fine and has no
conflicts with any other add-on I use. There was a one-time
problem with https redirects to wikipedia but that has long
since been corrected.

> 4) If it's so great why isn't it more prevalent?

It's not yet a 1.0 release; this may have something to do with
it.

> What's youre opinion? Or answer? :

Everyone should be using it. Spread the word.

The place to ask that question would be the mail list for HTTPS
everywhere: https://mail1.eff.org/mailman/listinfo/https-everywhere

Safe in the sense that you can trust the people who wrote it not to be
distributing a trojan?

The EFF is behind it. They are about as trusted on this as anyone.

See #1.

Most of these question would be better addressed to the HTTPS everywhere
maillist.

What has that to do with the OP's questions? No firefox add-on
fits that criteria but yet I suspect everyone is using one or
more.

5) Why are you asking these questions here instead of on a Firefox
forum?
