HTTP Nowhere upgrades non-secure web connections to secure: it upgrade HTTP URLs to HTTPS.
If the web site does not correctly support HTTPS, Chrome will refuse to connect (with the usual interstitial warning page). Thus, this extension will make it hard to view some web sites.
For maximum safety, you should also turn on Chrome’s Secure DNS (DNS over HTTPS) feature. There is no way (yet?) for an extension to turn this on for you, so you have to do it manually. To do so, go to the dots menu → Settings → Security, and then scroll down to Use Secure DNS. Select a provider or fill in your own. (You can also get to this setting by navigating to the URL chrome://settings/security?search=dns.)
HTTP Nowhere is designed to be as simple as possible, and has no functionality other than upgrading connections. This is easy to see in the very short and simple implementation.
It needs no special permissions or access to the web pages you view. There is nothing to configure; HTTP Nowhere is either on or off.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
