The full post is included below:<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Now in Aurora: Secure Google Searches are default. In Aurora when you search using the location bar, search box, or the right-click menu, your search will be sent to Google through a secure (HTTPS) connection. You won\u2019t notice a difference in how you search, but your Google search suggestions and search results will be presented through a secure web site.<\/p>\n<p>Enabling HTTPS for these searches shields our users from network infrastructure that may be gathering data about the users or modifying\/censoring their search results. Additionally, using HTTPS helps providers like Google remove information from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/HTTP_referer\">the referrer string<\/a>. While Google users may expect Google to know what they are searching for, Firefox users may not be aware these search terms are often transmitted to sites they visit when they click on items in the search results; enabling HTTPS search helps sites like Google strip this information from the HTTP referrer string, putting the user better in control of when and to whom their interests are shared.<\/p>\n<p>Encrypting our users\u2019 searches is our next step into giving users better control over their data online. Enabling HTTPS for Google searches helps Firefox users maintain better control over who sees things they search for \u2014 queries that are often sensitive. We\u2019re excited to see this improvement in our upcoming releases now that we, with Google\u2019s help, have been able to provide our users a secure and responsive secure search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s note: Sid Stamm recently posted about HTTPS Google Search.
