Userscripts.org

Hello!

I'm looking for a solution for forcing https wherever possible. I've been using some addons (HTTPS-Everywhere and HTTPS Finder), but they're incomplete solutions
The issues I ran into were:
I get the http variant of url-s in the history right before the https one, so it seems plain http connections are still made first. Also it spams my history which is bad: it slows down the browser history search and wastes more space. It'd be a lot better if could be avoided.

Also apparently HTTPS Finder apparently only estalbishes a https connection if the certificate is valid. Sure the other end is unreliable, but using https still prevent others from listening because of the encrytption, so it would still add upon plain http which provides nothing.

How is your question related to userscripts? I think you should ask it on the forums dedicated to the addons you’re using.

I just mentioned them to explain the issues. Thinking maybe there are scripts out there that do it better, or someone's writing one.

Like Watilin said, its completely unrelated to userscripts.

Why? Userscripts can't replace links to https ones? Or can't check if https is available, and if it is enforce it?

How about now?

If you are having issues with the addon, post an issue with them and chances are they may be able to give you a straight answer. Userscripts aren’t designed, even with @run-at document-start, to be a solution for http->https otherwise you’ll end up with a slower browser experience and most likely the same history issue.

The best shot is to have HTTPS-Everywhere fix the history issue.

Okay so scripts are not quite suitable for this... Finally someone with actual information.

I actually started an issue about this for https-finder, but it didn't get any response. Though it's hard to tell which problem is related to which addon.
