Automatically encrypt Browsing

 

We’re often told to check that online bank and store use web address that start with ‘https//’. It means that all communication between you and the website are encrypted ,so no one can view ,access, or change it while it’s in transit. This adds a powerful layer of security and privacy to your browsing.

Readers may not be aware that you can use this same security with lots of other websites, including Twitter,facebook and Google.The only downside is that you have to type the full address,such as ‘https://www.twitter.com’, which is a bit of pain.

If you don’t want all this hassle there are firefox and chrome add-ons that automatically use ‘https://’ where ever it’s available , without you having to type it. Get HTTPS Everywhere for firefox . or KB SSL Enforcer if you use Chrome.

When you type Twitter.com, this add-ons will add https://.

HOW TO ENABLE THE FEATURE

Firefox users can turn on this setting from theTools->HTTPS Everywhere->SSL Observatory Preferences menu, or from the HTTPS Everywhere toolbar button, which looks like this:

 Note: There is Beta version of Https everywhere for Chrome
