What you search on Wikipedia should just be your business. At least, that’s what Wikipedia seems to be telling us as it starts encrypting its web traffic through HTTPS, making it harder for people to track your research. Encryption isn’t exactly new for Wikipedia. The organization has had a manual HTTPS option since 2011 and this always-on policy means you get at least basic level of privacy. And it should somewhat deter censorship-happy governments from blocking facts they don’t want shared.
