HTTPS Everywhere for Safari ? or anything similar ?

[fab5freddy]

Is there a Force SSL - HTTPS extension for Safari,
just like it exists for Chrome and Firefox, but can't seem
to find it for Safari......?

thanks

There isn't one that I know of for Safari. The EFF has an FAQ about it here.

Q. Will there be a version of HTTPS Everywhere for IE, Safari, or some other browser?

A. Some members of our developer community are working on an IE port of HTTPS Everywhere. As of early 2012, the Safari extension API does not offer a way to perform secure rewriting of http requests to https. But if you happen to know a way to perform secure request rewriting in these browsers, feel free to let us know at https-everywhere at EFF.org (but note that modifying document.location or window.location in JavaScript is not secure).

ok thanks, is there any kind of work around ?

Not that I'm aware of.

Being September 2015, are there any news on this? Hard to believe we, Safari users, don't have options to make our Internet browsing a little bit more secure.

I would guess using htts everywhere would break most sites if they don't support https yet.

Maybe i'm missing the concept, but only secure pages should be https, there is no reason for making a ordinary non-secure page ... "secure" just because there is no personal info reason behind it to collect. In the act of privacy or tracking puposes, or staying safe on http connections, thats what addons are for.

Why would it "break" most sites? That's not how it works.

And perhaps you haven't heard about the times we are living in? There are PLENTY of reasons to make EVERYTHING more secure.

An alternative would be a search engine like DuckDuckGo that has HTTPS Anywhere built into its search results. When you use search engine suggestions while typing an address, it will also direct you to the HTTPS website.
