What is SKN SSL Enforcer?
SKN SSL Enforcer is a Chrome extension aimed at facilitating secure browsing on the web. It ensures websites you visit use HTTPS protocol, where supported, allowing you a safer browsing experience.

Summary

SKN SSL Enforcer allows you to browse the web securely on websites that support HTTPS.

SKN SSL Enforcer does not use proxy servers or similar methods to establish HTTPS tunnels. It relies solely on the website's support of HTTPS and the defined ruleset.

SKN SSL Enforcer will intercept web requests made by your browser which match the ruleset and attempt to rewrite them using HTTPS. This process happens before the browser opens a network connection, ensuring all data (headers and content) is encrypted in transit.

Works fine and it is an open source! Thanks for the developer! Note that it redirects from http to https, which can be TLS or SSL (not necessary to SSL, which is actually good because TLS is stronger). Also, this extension is more lightweight than HTTPS Everywhere (consumes less resources).

Works well, easy to add rules, simple and effective.

Her bir site ve bileşen için kural oluşturmak gerekiyor ve bunu da yapabileceğiniz kullanışlı bir arayüz yok. Tek tek policy ile uğraşabilecek olanlar için. Özetle az da olsa teknik bilgisi olanlar için güçlü, olmayanlar için pek işlevsel değil. Geliştirilmeli.
