<h3>Is it secure?</h3>
<p>
Yes, as long as you can trust that the Javascript being downloaded is
not being tampered with. This page itself is served by Github and is not SSL Encrypted (e.g. HTTPS).

encrypted (i.e. served via <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTPS">HTTPS</a>).
I don't know how probable it is that Github served pages could be hacked to

<em>Converse.js</em> makes HTTP requests to a <em>connection manager</em>, which in this case has an
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer" target="_blank">SSL</a> encrypted connection to an XMPP server.</p>
The <em>connection manager</em> then uses SSL and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security">TLS</a> to connect to an XMPP server.
<em>Converse.js</em> itself makes encrypted HTTPS requests to a <em>connection manager</em>, which will make an
SSL/TLS encrypted connection to an XMPP server (if the server supports it).
