Reviews & Comments of HTTPS Everywhere chrome extension

So sad... I feel like Im loosing my BFF. Thaank you EFF you were the BEST!! Its been a long and good ride. Peace... Im Out

I write down this review when removing it. Love you so much and appreciate all your help in the past. Retire and R.I.P.

it was a good run iv used it for many many years thank you to the dev team u guys are the one who did it first and protected us.

Thank you dev team for the amazing extension. I re-loaded it again just to write this review. Thank you for your service and for transparency. Wish the devs behind this all the best xx

I have been using this for a year now, and HTTPS Everywhere ensures I never accidentally visit a website that isn't fully encrypted.

So long old friend

Ran this extension for what must be close to a decade by now. Sure, it's great Chrome has built-in HTTPS now, but that popup screen is annoying. This one never had that, it just did it. Thanks for everything!

Simple extensions, did what it said and not more. Thanks for the service.

this product was amazing, sad that its going away because browsers now has HTTPS added as a default so i'll be uninstalling this extension now. browsers now finally achive of what you have been offering for years now :) thank you for your great service EFF and also the developers!

Great companion for the last 10 years. Glad it's not needed anymore.

Thanks for the years of forcing browsers to update their dang certificates. And thanks for being forthright about not needing to keep this installed anymore One of the best extensions that I've used for years but I'm sure the creators too are glad that browsers will implement this by default

While this is no longer needed as of Chrome 94, I've used this for years and want to show my appreciation. Thank you your service. o7

The extension started a tab telling me that i don´t need it anymore because it´s already built into my browser. I thought that was very good communication on their behalf since it means i will now uninstall the extension

5 Stars because when I no longer needed this extension, the people behind it told me and even showed how to set it up in browser. Thank you.

Nothing but a smooth experience. They even provided update on how to enable this within most major browsers since browsers are catching up to what this team has been offering for years.

thanks eff, love ya

No longer needed these days but was a great companion over the years, thank you guys for that extension. o7

I'm removing this since it's being deprecated soon, after activating native HTTPS in browser settings. Thanks for all you developers have done!

Was a must-have to all browsers. Its great that most browsers now support HTTPS-Only/HTTPS Upgrade but its still sad to see HTTPS Everywhere go :(

Funnily enough, I just reinstalled this extension to write this review... I'm removing this extension after, jeez, a decade of having it installed? It's only being removed because Chrome is finally offering native support for HTTPS only. Thanks for the great product EFF!

Thanks for a great service during a time of need.

It worked pretty well, I never really had any issue with it, I made the mistake of thinking that'd it'd turn any site into a https encrypted site, but it only redirects you to the encrypted connection if it's available for that site. There may have been 1 or 2 times where it didn't work, but the fact that I don't recall it being faulty is probably because I haven't experienced any bugs. With that being said I wanted to thank the devs for informing it's users that most web browsers have this option set by default now or have the option to toggle it on. I'll be uninstalling this extension, but I appreciate the usefulness of the extension while it lasted.

I've used this for many years. Never had a problem with it. It's a must have for security.

Should be a thing by default as well warn you when you are on a none secure site.

Only work on some website

it dosen't even work

Top 5 must have Extensions, thank you for doing gods work

Very high RAM usage

This extension was great but it's probably no longer needed: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/09/https-actually-everywhere

Very useful and informative.

Redundant. Extension can't make a non-https site secure. As such, it's useless.

"HTTPS Everywhere" keeps crashing whenever I fire up the Chrome Web Browser! Normally, I'd recommend this extension but NOT on a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB) with TwisterOS as the operating system. I seem to recall having this same issue under other Linux OS's too (and not necessarily with just one RazPi either). The good news is that "HTTPS Everywhere" does seem to work with other browsers like Firefox ESR. So it might just be a Google / Microsoft thing (hard to tell where browsers are concerned) and may be just one more reason to NOT use Chrome Web Browser or its ugly cousin Microsoft Edge (if/when that becomes available for Linux). What say you, EFF, or whoever's doing the debugging? Why does your extension not (seem to) work with just the Chrome Web Browser under the Linux distro Twister OS for a Raspberry Pi 4 (8GB)? I also realize what I'm using isn't exactly considered "main stream" and may not even be at the top of anyone's check list nor even on most developer's radar. Anyone reading this must understand, "HTTPS Everywhere" is normally an awesome extension. Nevertheless, I still gotta give it a one-star "hate it" rating as a Chrome Extension here because, you know, someone should have caught what seems like a pretty big bug and, if for no other reason than it keeps crashing with Chrome on my Raspberry Pi. (Very annoying.)

Suggest optionally scanned the page by VirusTotal before going into HTTP.

The best Https program.

The EFF deserves an award HTTPS-everywhere made us re-consider internet safety, since its launch standard practices have evolved to care about user and data security. It has now been replicated in all browsers and will be deprecated in 2022 after having fulfilled its purpose.

Must need for everyone on chrome, I may be using firefox as main but this extension is good for not getting a virus

dope... essential extension..

should be built into every chromium based browser for a more secure experience whilst browsing. simple as that.

A must have extension for everybody, no one should be without it. It is a little inconsistent though, sometimes I'll get a message that no https website was found even though there is an https version available.

not working

Essential for privacy

Dosen't enable https on any website it is trash

HTTPS Everywhere is blocking access to Youtube, and many other sites, as of today. Nothing has changed on my system.

slows down browser pathetically

Been using HTTPS for several years but the last year or so it constantly displays warnings between https sites!!!! The handshaking is going on 'behind the scenes' breaks HTTPS. I always have 'Encrypt all sites eligible...' on. It is definitely a concern of mine. So much that I have concluded it is safer to remove the plugin. Why? I cannot trust what it tells me....

Does exactly what is says and works great.

This extension is a must-use. No connection is safe without ssl!

Must-have extension! It can't get any better than being open source, being created by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, being recommended by PrivacyTools.io, and even being implemented into the TOR Browser! Pro tip: If you haven't checked out PrivacyTools.io, they have other solid privacy recommendations. :)

5 stars for effort, but honestly this extension is becoming less relevant by the day. Chrome is hard-pushing https (which is absolutely the right thing to do), so the great majority of sites anyone visit these days are already https by default. For the time being I'm still keeping it just in case, but honestly I can live without this extension.

Still getting Privacy Issues.

Awesome

Very good!

does not work on tiwtch

lt pops up on unsecure sites and if it is secured, then l type it in myself to see if the warning still comes up, but it has popped up numerous times now

Not so good. It also blocks https sites.

The app is helpful.

Seems like it is not working on windows 7.

causes all my downloads to freeze/crash (download failed - network error)

Amazing extension

It works as expected. It is useful to block all insecure sites on public hotspots.

First extension that I install on Chrome and Chromium!

good for security

From what I have seen it is great, I am wondering when it is read does that mean your data is encrypted ?

Great, thanks!

Helpful for your security while browsing

It has flagged every non https site thats come along. So I gave it 5 stars. If you're not paranoid in today's world, then you're insane.

needs more development and full tls 1.3 support

Does what it says! 5/5.

Very secure and reliable!

A must have app. I have used it for five years and I love it. (just be sure the icon is red so you know it is turned on)

wow just noticed you acknowledged Aaron Swartz. Nice!

Spamware. Multiple times today it took over one of my tabs to show me an ad for itself.

The extension is fantastic and I absolutely recommend using it! The reason I give it this negative review is that on the last automatic update it opened a new tab to show new features. This happened while I was doing something that required my attention and it got me out of that enough for a minute to feel annoying. I understand the urge to let users know of new features in your product but in my opinion this should never happen on it's own. (Non-blockable popup triggered by an automatic update without any user interaction.) Please find a better solution for this. How about a notification on the icon so that I can take a look when I want to instead of feeling pushed into it and being potentially distracted from whatever I'm currently doing?

should be mandatory https for all browsers in this era. there is no excuse for not protecting your digital track.

Should show a warning when I go to an insecure page that does NOT require me to click on it. I just want to go to the page ... just tell me it's insecure, and then let me back out if I want. Don't make me approve every single insecure page on the whole internet.

So stupid and reducing functions on many necessary sites. Such as the drivers updates for Intel: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html It has been driving me mad for 2 months unable to update my drivers. Now that I have disabled and removed it. I'm really so glad!

no problems

stages privates set up converv and regis install email inmy proud usb conform asset and log web site for guest congrtaes estables support also kantor analitik support privates for myself set pricaution thnaks!

Protected me from goggle . com (don't put in the url, ur pc will die).

Peace of mind.

So far so good. I intentionally write websites with simply the name/ title of the page (ex. yahoo, indeed, etc.) and it so far, has filled them in correctly. https://www.xxxxx.com. I see no signs as of yet of any irregularities on the sites or misplaced data when connected. Like it.

Great extension.

Great extension!

Recently started to slow down loading websites. Please fix.

very good

It is one of the must-have extensions to have in your browser. Most of the users are complaining that it doesn't work. People usually get confused and presume that this extension is supposed to open every website in https NO it can't! You need to understand... please read this to get your doubts clarified. https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere/faq#when-does-https-everywhere-protect-me-when-does-it-not-protect-me

Thanks for still giving your extension attention by keeping it up to date. It's starting to become way too common to come across extensions that haven't been updated in years. I've been shocked to find that it's mostly ones developed by... The Google.

Uses 100mb+ RAM for such a simple task. Not very efficient.

Simply awesome - specially the downgrade warning..... Keep up the stability of the extension. That's key. Rest is Ok. Best of Luck.

loved it

not working

Love this

I really like this extension,saves me from typing extra and I can save time without thinking!!!!

Way better than it used to be. The only remaining nitpick I have left is that now there's a weird double confirmation to visit unencrypted sites. Why can't I just have one? And on top of that maybe option of no warnings at all, just turn the icon red or something? I don't want this EULA-style click-through stuff, I know what I'm doing as long as your extension works as it says it does.

Been years since it last caused any trouble.

Não tem em Português do Brasil

As a non programmer we have no idea what it really do.Still before last update it at least showing the list of site cookies tracking every site I visit and written over there forced encryption to HTTPS.Now with this new update no site cookies which tracking me it shows so it become worthless not onlt that with every HTTP site it starts warning me block it and ask me whether I want to open it or not and pretending asif it will find and open the HTTPS site if available for that site.Now we are not blind we can see in which site HTTP written which site HTTPS written,if from a layman or user point it is just doing thsi then we just no need of this garbage extension any longer.Good bye Mr. Famous Garbage app developer,so called HTTPS encrytion maker lol..SO NOW AFTER LATEST UPDATE IT BECOME HTTPS FINDER FROM HTTPS EVERYWHERE,WHY NOT THEN CHANGE THE NAME TO HTTPS FINDER AND EXPECT KIDS TO USE UR DUSTBIN APP??

Works well on most site, but it doesn't allow loading of flash game site (nitrome, maxgames). Uninstalling for that reason.

<## Love you EFF ;-*

Don't listen to a single negative review on here; I've been using this for ages and it works great. Always feeling secure.
