Just to add to the last review: https works sometimes on google frontpage but mostly not. Https works for links on most websites. Http does not work at all for some reason? Example: imgur link with nothing in front of it, auto-routes to http version if hovered which only results in a warning message saying it's not safe. However if I open it by clicking on it, it brings me to the https version of the same page. It's confusing why wouldn't it try https if it is a "raw" link on the website, if the other option is to not show http at all. If you could correct this and add an option to allow http sites as well, that would make even with the front page results a less annoying and more useful experience. (Just make it confirm with a 10 sec popup or something if you can, so people read the warning.) If you hear me out dear devs, thank you for your consideration.
