Automatically switched to secure HTTP version of webpages if possible.
What is HTTP to HTTPS?
'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.

Extension summary
An extension to automatically use HTTPS protocol when possible. When the extension is enabled, it switches insecure "HTTP" pages to the secure "HTTPS" alternative when the server supports secure communication. In oppose to the popular HTTPS Anywhere extension, this one does not have a predefined set of sites that support HTTPS protocol, instead, it evaluates the unsecured site upon the first usage.
Source code and bug tracker are available at: https://github.com/balvin-perrie/http-to-https
Notes:
- If automatic switching to HTTPS protocol for a website causes it to look broken, use the toolbar popup to add the page or the hostname to the exception list and reload the page in the HTTP protocol.
- You can place your mouse over the toolbar button to get more info about the color codes that this extension uses. Also, make sure to read the FAQs page.

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.
