Extension summary

Analyze keywords

Smart HTTPS is an extension that helps you always use the secure HTTPS protocol if it is supported by the site's server.

It automatically changes the HTTP protocol to the secure HTTPS, and if loading errors occur, the extension will revert to the original HTTP protocol.

Key features a. Automatically change all HTTP requests to the secure HTTPS. b. All websites (addresses) that do not support HTTPS are remembered to speed up the protocol-check process. Note that you can see and delete these items from the extension's Options page. c. The toolbar button serves as the extension's ON|OFF switch. Blue indicates ON and Gray is OFF. d. Add desired websites to the whitelist (see Options page).

I liked this as HTTPS Everywhere alternative but if we have enabled HTTPS in browser and added this addon or added this addon but not enabled HTTPS in browser, then there is no alert like HTTPS Everywhere that site is HTTP and will be upgraded by this addon to HTTPS. I wonder it works or not. I use chrome and opera but never seen it work or show itself working. If dev is updating this addon then show us when we are accessing HTTP site that this addon is upgrading it to HTTPS site. Until then it will be 2 stars.
