Ok. It's a Firefox Add-on: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere Questions:

1. But: Why can't i find it on the offical Firefox Add-ons site?: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

No clue.

2. Did anyone audited the "HTTPS Everywhere" code?

You'd have better luck asking in the https-everywhere community.

3. Can someone trust this Add-on? Is it safe to install/use?

No clue, but probably yes.

4. If it's so great why isn't it more prevalent?

Most people don't even know what SSL is.

What's youre opinion? Or answer? :\

I think this approach is going nowhere and SSL/TLS encrypting images and icons is [resource] expensive and pointless in 99.44% of cases.
