-Since version 20, Chrome has automatically blocked the loading of insecure
-HTTP scripts and CSS in HTTPS pages.  Firefox version 23 will do the same.
-This is good security practice, but it causes havoc with many sites where
-HTTPS Everywhere can secure some, but not all, of the site's content.
-    </p>
-
-    <p>
-Before Firefox 23 launches, we will need a more coherent plan for detecting
-sites where we are causing these mixed content situations, and either
-disabling or working around the limitation.  Failure to do so will mean that
-HTTPS Everywhere user experience worsens dramatically when Firefox 23 is
-released.  Success will mean a dramatic improvement in user experience with
-HTTPS Everywhere for Chrome.
