What I would like to do is have Chrome automatically switch me to SSL connections if a site supports it.

So if I type for example: www.somesite.com in the browser I want Chrome to try to connect me straight to https://www.somesite.com if it doesn't exist, then redirect me to plain text http.

Is there a setting or some way to do this?

    This question seems a little too old to answer, but HTTPS Everywhere is now available for Chrome too!

Take a look at the Secure Sites extension for Chrome.

To my knowledge there isn't a plugin that does this. Without actually trying to go to the site as https there is no information on a page to tell you if it is even listening for secure requests.

Currently your best bet is to bookmark the sites that you use frequently as https and visit them through those links.

  • What if I click on a link to a site I haven't visited before. I want an SSL connection without using bookmarks or typing HTTPS manually as I do now.
