Automatic encryption software to securely view websites

HTTPS Everywhere is a software bundle which allows users to browse the Internet safely and securely. Essentially, it changes a website address from the standard 'HTTP' mode to the more secure 'HTTPS' mode. Those who are familiar with the TOR project will be pleased to know that many of the same developers are involved with this application. Anyone who is concerned in regards to their privacy or wishes to avoid online cookies will benefit from this handy smartphone app.

Main Uses and Tools

HTTPS Everywhere is ideal to avoid online surveillance, data tracking and common phishing schemes. As it employs a robust firewall alongside SSL encryption, all personal data should remain secure. In the majority of cases, this software will run automatically in the background. However, users can also deactivate it if they find that pages are loading too slow. They will simply click on a shield icon to switch back into normal HTTP mode.

Other Options

As the total file size of HTTPS Everywhere is only 1.57 megabytes, most users will not experience any performance issues. Recent fixes have address some minor bug issues. This software currently available in nearly 50 languages and more are likely to be added in the near future.

  • Pros

    • An excellent option for those who are concerned with their privacy while online
    • A small file size will not impede other core processes
  • Cons

    • There is no free version of this software currently available
    • The information contained within some pages might not be properly displayed

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
