Given the amount of breakage that HTTPS Everywhere causes, I'd be a 
little nervous about this type of deployment in any sort of production 
environment.

Doing it at the browser works well due to the ease of disabling rules, 
but I can't think of a way to trivially bypass broken rules if this were 
implemented at the proxy level.
