[bsclifton]

Did you search for similar issues before submitting this one?
Yes

Describe the issue you encountered:
Some users are not aware of our HTTPS Everywhere integration and what it brings to the table.

Expected behavior:
It would be great to have documentation (brave.com or built in) that helps describe:

• what HTTPS upgrades are
• why that is important to them
• Platform (Win7, 8, 10? macOS? Linux distro?):
  all
• Brave Version:
  all
• Steps to reproduce:
  
  
  
  1. Browse to a site which has http content
  
  
  2. Click on bravery button (lion head)
  
  
  3. Notice there are HTTPS upgrades with no description of what that means or why it's important
  
  
• Screenshot if needed:
• Any related issues:

+1 on this! Not really understanding HTTPS upgrades

To the best of my knowledge: https upgrades means, sites and hyperlinks, that are linked to http:// and if a equivalent https:// site is available.... brave browser, automatically changes those links to https:// equivalents, to prevent tracking etc.,

Closing as this is more of an item for community (and not an issue with browser-laptop) 😄
