Smart HTTPS is a Chrome extension that enhances your web security by automatically upgrading HTTP connections to HTTPS when supported by the website. HTTPS encrypts data between your browser and the server, protecting your information from third-party eavesdropping. If a website doesn't support HTTPS or an error occurs, Smart HTTPS intelligently reverts back to HTTP to maintain accessibility.

Key features include automatic protocol upgrading, caching of unsupported HTTPS sites for faster browsing, an easy ON/OFF toggle via the toolbar button, and a customizable whitelist to exclude specific websites. The extension ensures you enjoy safer browsing with minimal hassle, improving your online privacy and security seamlessly.

Nu face nimic. Complet inutil

With the EFF deprecating their "HTTPS Everywhere" extension, Smart HTTPS is, IMHO, the next best option for an HTTPS enforcer. It's not as inflexible as the built-in HTTPS-only feature in modern browsers.
