Warn Insecure Redirection: Protect Your Privacy While Browsing
Warn Insecure Redirection is a free Chrome extension developed by em_te that aims to protect your privacy while browsing the web. As the name suggests, this extension warns you if a URL appears to be a redirection link and is not loaded over HTTPS.
When you visit a link that seems to be a redirection link and is not using HTTPS, it exposes the redirection link to potential snoopers. Warn Insecure Redirection detects these potential privacy risks and offers you three options: try loading the link over HTTPS, visit the intended website directly over HTTPS, or continue with the insecure link.
In addition to detecting insecure redirection links, this extension also "pings" the root pages of example.com and paypal.me over HTTPS to check if they are accessible. It then provides a tick or cross indicator, allowing you to decide whether you want to navigate directly to the pages.
With Warn Insecure Redirection, you can browse the web with peace of mind, knowing that your privacy is protected from potential snooping and insecure redirections.
