Description: extension that detects valid HTTPS pages as you browse
HTTPS Finder automatically detects and enforces valid HTTPS connections
as you browse, as well as automating the rule creation process for
HTTPS-Everywhere (instead of having to manually type "https://"; in the
address bar to test, and writing your own XML rule for it).
.
The extension sends a small HTTPS request to each HTTP page you browse
to. If there is a response, the certificate is checked for validity (any
certificate errors will result in no notification, and no further
detection requests during that session). If valid, HTTPS is
automatically enforced (can be disabled for an alert only, with no
redirect), and the user is given an option to save the auto-generated
rule for HTTPS Everywhere. It is recommended to create rules whenever
possible, as it more securely enforces secure connections.
