HTTPS Everywhere

What is HTTPS Everywhere?

The HTTPS Everywhere browser extension provides a robust and reliable solution for securing your online connections. Developed through a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, this extension automatically encrypts your communications with a wide range of major websites, ensuring your browsing activities remain secure and private Many websites on the internet offer limited support for HTTPS encryption, often defaulting to the less secure HTTP protocol or incorporating unencrypted links within their encrypted pages. HTTPS Everywhere addresses these vulnerabilities by systematically rewriting all requests to these sites to use the more secure HTTPS protocol, effectively shielding your online activities from potential eavesdropping or tampering

• Collaboration-Driven Development: The extension is a joint effort between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, ensuring a strong focus on user privacy and security.
