HTTP to HTTPS

Automatically switched to secure HTTP version of webpages if possible.

HTTP to HTTPS - A Secure Browsing Chrome Extension

'HTTP to HTTPS' is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing security. By automatically switching from the insecure HTTP protocol to the secure HTTPS alternative, it ensures your online activities are protected. Unlike other extensions, it does not rely on a predefined list of HTTPS-supporting sites. Instead, it assesses the security status of each site upon your first visit. Additional features include an exception list for sites that break under HTTPS and a color-coded toolbar for easy update reference.

User reviews

Fantastic! There are lots of pages over there linking via HTTP to PDFs I want to read, but recent draconian security measures in Chrome consider them a threat and bock downloading. This extension is a superb workaround.
