SSL/TLS enforcer extensions – HTTPS all the way over the Internet

If you are always aware with secure browsing and ever wanted to use SSL/TLS automatically with any website that provides this security feature, then some Google Chrome extensions can help you to achieve it.

You can test “KB SSL Enforcer” with my blog. Install the first two extensions, then click on the KB button and then push the “Whitelist” button. You should see a warning because my certificate is signed by the FrenchDev CA which is not known by your web browser. Just accept it, and that’s it you’re done :-)

Never miss the point that self signed certificates you temporary or permanently accept can eventually be owned by an attacker between you and the Web server. So make sure that the traffic between you and the website is not filtered before you accept it, so that the certificate has not been altered and can be trusted.

Tip: Under MacOS you can add untrusted certificates to the KeyAccess manager, so your Mac will permanently trust these certificates and warnings will vanish from your Web browsers.
