HTTP to HTTPS

Automatically switched to secure HTTP version of webpages if possible.

The HTTP to HTTPS Chrome extension enhances your browsing security by automatically switching insecure HTTP pages to their secure HTTPS counterparts whenever possible. Unlike other extensions, it dynamically evaluates each website for HTTPS support rather than relying on a predefined list, ensuring optimal secure connection opportunities.

Users can easily manage exceptions via the toolbar popup to handle pages that may break upon redirection. The extension provides informative color codes for connection status and maintains an up-to-date approach, excluding certain domains (like *.onion) to avoid redirect issues. Its source code and bug tracker are openly available for transparency and community contribution at the project's GitHub repository.

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.
