Smart HTTPS Firefox

Smart HTTPS

By: ilGur
This extension automatically changes HTTP web addresses to the secure HTTPS, whenever possible.

Features & Capabilities

Smart HTTPS is a Chrome extension designed to enhance your web browsing security by automatically upgrading HTTP web addresses to HTTPS whenever possible. HTTPS ensures that the data exchanged between your browser and websites is encrypted, preventing unauthorized interception and enhancing privacy.

This extension intelligently detects if a website supports HTTPS and switches the connection seamlessly. If any loading issues arise, it gracefully reverts to HTTP to maintain usability. Features include an easy toggle button on the toolbar for quick enabling or disabling, automatic remembering of sites that do not support HTTPS for faster checks, and a whitelist option to exclude specific websites. Enhance your web security effortlessly with Smart HTTPS.

Is Smart HTTPS 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.

Smart HTTPS requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

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.

Smart HTTPS is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
