Full summary

HTTPS Everywhere is an extension created by EFF and the Tor Project which automatically switches thousands of sites from insecure "http" to secure "https". It will protect you against many forms of surveillance and account hijacking, and some forms of censorship.

    ------- IMPORTANT NOTE: -------

If HTTPS Everywhere causes a site to look weird or break, you can disable it for that site using the button in the address bar in the top right of your screen. HTTPS Everywhere for Chrome is currently in beta, and a few such issues are inevitable due to bugs in websites' HTTPS support. Also watch for a "shield" button in the address bar, which means that Chrome blocked insecure portions of the page. Sometimes pages will look weird with their insecure portions removed. Clicking on the shield will let you load them, but will reduce your security and privacy.

Special thanks to Aaron Swartz, Mike Perry, Jay Weisskopf, Nick Semenkovich, Jacob Hoffman-Andrews, Yan Zhu, Vijay P., and William Budington for their work on the Chrome port.

Revert Site lets you get the old Facebook design / layout back (for Biz/Fan Pages and a few other pages too).

Revert Site is very quick to install, and very easy to use, it just has a single option, that is turned on by default, so you can just install it and not have to configure anything. However if you wish to temporarily disable Revert Site, you can easily do so by clicking the extension icon, in the browser's extensions toolbar, then un-ticking the "Switch back to the old Facebook design" checkbox. To turn it back on, just re-tick the checkbox.

If you can't find the Revert Site (R) button in your extension's toolbar, it may be hidden behind the "Jigsaw puzzle piece" button, so click that and see if its behind there.

**** PLEASE NOTE ****

Revert Site can only revert Business / Fan Pages, and a few other pages. It can't revert the Newsfeed, Personal Profiles, Events or Group pages.

If you find there are any parts of the site that won't work with the Revert option turned on, switch it off while you carry out your tasks, then turn it back on when you have finished to go back to the old site again.
