I wonder if we have to worry about Google Reader, iGoogle, etc. If the cookies for these can be stolen can they be used for further attacks against the overall google account?

You can also use the Better Gmail Firefox add-on to enable this feature as well.

does anyone know if a similar URL is available for Yahoo mail?

You don't want the close paren in the link: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1404

(Should have actually paid attention after clicking "Preview"!)

CustomizeGoogle is overkill if all you want is secure Gmail. You can use the GMailSecure greasemonkey userscript (http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/1404) to do the same thing. It's trivial to add Google Calendar, Docs, and Reader to the URL list. Of course, greasemonkey is overkill, too, but you probably already have that installed. ;-)

CustomizeGoogle has other neat tricks as well.

The CustomzieGoogle Firefox Add-on. Download it, install it, love it.

I use this to make everything on Google secure. And remove ads.
