## Description

HTTP to HTTPS is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your web security by automatically switching unsecured HTTP webpages to their secure HTTPS versions when supported by the server. Unlike other extensions with predefined site lists, it evaluates each unsecured site dynamically upon first use. Users can easily manage exceptions through the toolbar to prevent switching on sites that don't function properly with HTTPS.

This extension offers an intuitive interface with color-coded status indicators, helping users understand the security state of each page. The source code is openly available, promoting transparency and community contributions. By enabling HTTP to HTTPS, users ensure safer and encrypted browsing seamlessly and efficiently, improving online privacy and security.
