HTTPS Only for Safari 2.1.5

Available on all your devices, on iOS, iPad, and macOS.

When browsing a website, individuals typically unknowingly disclose a significant amount of personal information. Without proper precautions implemented by site owners, these personal data are susceptible to theft. To prevent such occurrences, consider accessing all websites using HTTPS technology.

HTTPS Only is a Safari extension that safeguards your browsing activities by automatically activating the HTTPS protocol on every website you visit. By loading websites in HTTPS on your browser, all your online traffic will be encrypted, secure, and free from surveillance.

While many prominent websites do employ traffic encryption through HTTPS, there is no guarantee that you are leveraging this technology; at times, it may not be enabled by default or certain embedded resources may load via default unencrypted HTTP connections. Moreover, clicking on links may redirect you to insecure versions of websites. In fact, over 75% of existing sites still rely on unencrypted HTTP communication.

The HTTPS Only extension addresses these issues by converting all HTTP requests to HTTPS and ensuring that assets like images, styles, scripts, or ads from visited websites are transmitted securely via HTTPS. This measure safeguards your cookies, passwords, sessions, and private data from potential theft.

What is the HTTPS protocol and why should you care?

Were you aware that browsing the internet in public places like coffee shops, airports, or hotels with free Wi-Fi could pose risks? Even your home or workplace internet connection is not immune. This is because regular HTTP web traffic can be intercepted in plain text, monitored, and even manipulated by anyone. HTTPS significantly enhances security since this protocol encrypts your communications.

The advantages of the HTTPS protocol and why you should utilize it:

1. Faster page loading: Data transferred over HTTPS loads quicker due to the availability of the new HTTP/2 protocol only through encrypted communications in Safari.
2. Confidentiality: Your content, passwords, and messages remain unreadable to others.
3. Integrity: Your traffic remains unaltered - for instance, no key-logger injections can occur.
4. Authentication: Your site cannot be directed to a clone without your knowledge.

Is this a VPN service?

No, this extension does not function as a VPN service. However, it operates with comparable efficiency and safety to a VPN. The extension ensures exclusive use of HTTPS while browsing, providing encrypted and secure traffic. Additionally, HTTPS proves much swifter than a VPN and can safeguard your online activities even if the VPN logs them.
