True, I'm not surprised at all. HTTPS Everywhere-like functionality should be integrated into browsers and not a downloadable extra, tricking people into feeling fully secured.

Have site preloaded in Chrome: https://hstspreload.appspot.com

Firefox also has a built-in HSTS preload list, which I believe uses the Chrome list as one of its inputs: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2012/11/01/preloading-hsts...
