One of the priorities for many users when browsing the internet is security. When we are on a site under the HTTPS protocol, security is guaranteed (thanks to SSL encryption), but on HTTP pages privacy is much lower. For this reason, from NeoTeo we bring you some extensions to improve security and privacy in Google Chrome.
All the plugins will increase the security of our browsing when inserting personal data and passwords among other information.
HTTPS Everywhere
We'll start with the HTTPS Everywhere extension, which when installed will work in the background and without configuration.
The tool will block all HTTP protocol requests that try to activate during your browsing. And it will force the use of the HTTPS protocol on these websites. (You can observe this in the browser's address bar).
HTTPS Finder
Next is HTTPS Finder, a tool that explores and controls our browsing and when you visit a website with the HTTP protocol, the extension directs you to its HTTPS version. An advantage of the utility over others is the option to enter settings and customize its operation.
HTTPS Somewhere
We'll finish with HTTPS Somewhere, a tool that changes the protocol from HTTP to HTTPS on the pages you are visiting.
The utility only determines if the website you are browsing is compatible with the HTTPS protocol, but you will have to switch to the secure protocol using the filters offered by the webpage.
Really, that the websites we visit have very good security is an important point, this way we can insert personal, banking data or any private information in a completely secure way. We remind you that if a webpage does not have the HTTPS protocol, the extensions we have indicated are useless. Because they http://old.neoteo.com/lo-que-faltaba-drm-para-los-archivos-jpeg detect and force the use of HTTPS on sites that have the protocol, but do not convert an HTTP website to HTTPS.
HTTPS “is an application protocol based on the HTTP protocol, intended for the secure transfer of hypertext data, that is, the secure version of HTTP.”
All extensions are free and are available for Google Chrome web browsers.
