Hi. No offense, really, and I am not trying to start a flame with the
anti-Microsoft group, but I was hoping that someone could explain to me the
rationale behind the decision of not developing an HTTPS-Everywhere
extension for Internet Explorer while choosing to make them for other
browsers? I am just a mere power-user, not a developer, so maybe there is a
technical barrier or difficulty guiding this decision?  

It seems like the opportunity to help the largest amount of people would
take precedence, considering that IE has more users and more need for the
additional security. Or maybe I have that idea backwards? IE is more secure
than your target market's browsers and has lesser need in this regard? I am
not clear on your reasoning.

Again, don't get me wrong, because I use FF sometimes too, and I have this
extension in use when I do. Since I also use IE a great amount of the time,
I would like to have this feature enabled while doing so with it too. My
thoughts are purely practical in motivation.  :)
