Extension summary

Analyze keywords

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.

Recent reviews

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).
