An extension to downgrade HTTPS requests to HTTP, and "warn" about secure websites (THIS IS A JOKE EXTENSION, DO NOT ACTUALLY INSTALL THIS AS IT DISABLES SECURITY)

Features & Capabilities

Do not actually install this extension, as it genuinely attempts to disable security on websites. Security is a good thing, as it prevents bad actors from accessing your information.

Created as a joke, HTTP Only Mode parodies the "Insecure Site" warnings you see on sites with invalid certificates, as well as the HTTPS Everywhere extension. It tries its best to force a HTTP only version of the site, and displays a warning for sites it can't unsecure with the option to whitelist the domain, as well as blocking HTTPS only resources from loading from un-whitelisted domains.

Is HTTP Only Mode Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

HTTP Only Mode requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

HTTP Only Mode has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
