Save free education on the web

Wikipedia is non-profit, but it's the #5 website in the world. With 450 million monthly users, we have costs like any top site: servers, power, rent, programs, staff and legal help.
To protect our independence, we'll never run ads. We take no government funds. We run on donations: $5 is the most common, the average is about $30.
If everyone reading this gave $5, our fundraiser would be done within an hour. Please help us forget fundraising and get back to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others.

When I founded Wikipedia, I could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but decided to do something different.

Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Wikipedia.

— Wikipedia Founder, Jimmy Wales

The fact is, today, Wikipedia is one of the most widely information sources in the web and no one can ignore or deny it's important rule in providing better access to general and professional information and easing ways for free education. I think we, or at least my generation, owe to Wikipedia much more.
If you can, please donate, to support this foundation and cause for next generations.

HTTPS Everywhere's official website. 

HTTPS Everywhere is a Chrome and Firefox add-on that enforce every website to connect through SSL connection (if available). As a result, it will provide a better and higher level of security for your web  browsing experience. However, in some cases, using a SSL connection cause a bit speed reduction, but the fact that your connection is fully encrypted and secured and no one can easily spy on you, steal your information or blackmail you, makes it worth.

HTTPS Everywhere is produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site. The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by using a clever technology to rewrite requests to these sites to HTTPS.

Firefox version in now on version 3 stable. However Google Chrome's version is in alpha phase (but works fine). Unfortunately, HTTPS Everywhere dose not provided on Firefox Add-Ons official page and you should get it directly from Electronic Frontier Foundation website.
