Facebook – Secure Browser Feature explained briefly

You may have noticed a new pop up on your Facebook timeline asking if you wish to enable “secure browsing” or not.

Secure Browsing ( https / ssl ) is an opt-in security feature when accessing Facebook. When the secure browsing feature is enabled, your activity ( web traffic ) on Facebook becomes encrypted, making it harder for anyone else to access your Facebook information without your permission.

We recommend enabling the secure browsing feature on Facebook to reduce the risk of someone intercepting your time on Facebook.
