How to Enable Secure Facebook Browsing

I know many of you like to use your Facebook on public access areas like cafe, library and etc, because enabling secure browsing for an account ensures that data cannot be monitored by other users of the network or the ISP. This feature is not enables by default, but you can change it in your Facebook setting easily.

Just go to Account Setting > Security > Secure Browing, tick the checkbox “Choose Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible” and then save it.

Next time when you login to your Facebook, you will see https url instead of http url on the browser location bar. Anyway, perhaps you will ask, why doesn’t Facebook enable Secure browsing by default for all users? Hmmm…there are 2 reasons as below:-
1. Page loading speed is much slower over a secure connection.
2. Some Facebook apps will not support secure https connections.
