I believe there are still a few HTTPS Everywhere remnants in the browser and our component server, but my understanding is that those will be removed soon.

Hi @arthuredelstein ! Mind adding a testplan here, when you get a chance? Thanks! Adding QA/Blocked and QA/Test-Plan-Required just until we've got that, and then we'll be fully unblocked 👍
Hi @stephendonner! My suggestion would be just to confirm that HTTPS Upgrades are still working. Probably a subset of past QA on https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/27141 ?

Thanks; I'll get it started, and perhaps you can review once I'm in a good place with it 👍

As of January 2023, the software has been sunset and will no longer receive updates because it is now redundant. Brave has HTTPS Everywhere built-in, but it no longer serves a purpose since you no longer need the extension to do what it was intended to do, as Chromium has a native setting to enable HTTPS-Only Mode. Are there plans to remove the extension from Brave and leave it up to native Chromium functionality?
