Comment:

 Digging this 3 year old ticket back up to report that enough ad networks
 are on board with SSL that we finally were able to cut everything over at
 long last.

 One new exception: we still have cases where we iframe external plaintext
 sites, so the containing page must obviously also be plaintext, and so
 we’ve created a new go.fark.net hostname dedicated to that.  That one is
 port 80 only, no 443 at all.

 Everything else under *.fark.com and *.fark.net EXCEPT for go.fark.net is
 now SSL, and sets an HSTS header to enforce it.  go.fark.net will never
 support SSL, so that needs to stay blacklisted.

 So that should, uh, drastically simplify or eliminate the
 https://github.com/EFForg/https-
 everywhere/blob/master/src/chrome/content/rules/Fark.xml ruleset, yes?
