 Per the EFF ruleset,

 https://www.eff.org/sites/all/themes/frontier/images/get-
 https-e-chrome.png

 should be rewritten to

 https://www.eff.org/sites/all/themes/frontier/images/got-
 https-e-chrome.png

 But in the chrome version of HTTPS Everywhere, it isn't.

 We also haven't implemented the "downgrade" rule attribute that allows
 rewrites to http, where those are required (although arguably because
 chrome blocks mixed content, this is much less useful than it is in
 Firefox).
