I trust I can read my gMail over SSL without someone firesheeping me. Can I do that with Facebook right now?

Incidentally, facebook has SSL as well: https://facebook.com. Unfortunately, it's not the default and there doesn't appear to be any way to force it.
You can force it through a few extensions. I'm on chrome, and I've been using https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/obfehkohhfbooodo...

Works fairly well, but it loads the main page and then refreshes into SSL. I'm sure there are similar extensions for firefox, etc.

Ding.
I use HTTPS everywhere and it seems to work. Facebook chat doesn't, though.

I don't like using GMail too much, but I'll be damned if I let Facebook see anymore of what I communicate than what it does now.
