DuckDuckGo’s Smarter Encryption covers more domains than our current model. Browsers and websites are moving away from issues that created a need for more granular ruleset maintenance. Mixed content is now blocked in major browsers Different domains for secure connection are now an older habit (i.e. secure.google.com), further removing the need for granular maintenance on HTTPS Everywhere rulesets Chrome’s Manifest V3 declarativeNetRequest API will force the web extensions to have a ruleset cap. Instead of competing with other extensions like DuckDuckGo, if the user prefers to use HTTPS Everywhere or DuckDuckGo's Privacy Essentials, they will receive virtually the same coverage. We don’t want to create confusion for users on “who to choose” when it comes to getting the best coverage.
