To secure browser which is very fragile, the approach of HTTPS Only 3.1 is 
exceptionally simple:
1. Only HTTPS URLs(no other protocols)
2. Whitelist of domains(anything outside of whitelist is blocked)

Now, let's look at threats:
1. Man in the middle - it's fixed.
2. Phishing always requires the browser to load attacker's website, so it's 
permanently dead here.
3. Drive-by Download - dead(if applied strictly, unable to download the 
executable)
4. Clickjacking - dead(attacker's web page is unreachable)
5. Address Spoofing - dead too(just unable to load the fake content)
6. XSS - almost dead(for attacker, the XSS vulnerability has to be GET, because 
POST requires attacker's HTML)
7. CSRF - almost dead(for attacker, the CSRF vulnerability has to be GET, and 
modern web applications simply don't do 
important things in GET, because it can be bookmarked etc, too dangerous)

I'm not the owner of this software, just wanted to share the idea. Have a
