Facebook announced today that it is completing the implemention of secure HTTPS browsing for all users. Today’s news comes two years after the company added the feature which should make connecting to Facebook’s servers more secure.
The company revealed that a third of its users had this feature enabled after it was first introduced. Now, all traffic to Facebook’s website and 80 percent of all going to the mobile optimized version will use a secure connection. The service uses Transport Layer Security (TLS), or Secure Socket Layer (SSL), to protect the connection.
Interestingly, adoption of secure browsing had been growing since 2011. The company said that the rate had reached 35 percent organically before Facebook even did anything.
