Starting with Microsoft Edge version 92, users will have the option to upgrade navigations from HTTP to HTTPS on domains likely to support this more secure protocol. This support can also be configured to attempt delivery over HTTPS for all domains. More secure connections help protect customers from man-in-the-middle attacks.
In Microsoft Edge Canary, you can enable the Automatic HTTPS experimental flag to enable support for Automatic HTTPS, which switches connections to websites from HTTP to HTTPS. If enabled, the Automatically switch to more secure connections with Automatic HTTPS setting can then be turned on/off or further configured in Settings > Privacy, search, and services.
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Automatic HTTPS in the Chromium based Microsoft Edge.
Google Chrome hides the “https://” and “www.” text in web addresses by default in the address bar until you double click in the address bar.
Starting with Google Chrome 83, you can enable the Context menu show full URLs experimental flag that adds an Always show full URLs context menu to the address bar to make it easy to toggle on and off as wanted.
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable always show full URLs in the address bar of Google Chrome.
When you type a web address or domain name into your address bar (example: www.tenforums.com), your browser sends a request over the Internet to look up the IP address for that website.
Traditionally, this request is sent to servers over a plain text connection. This connection is not encrypted, making it easy for third-parties to see what website you’re about to access.
DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) works differently. It sends the domain name you typed to a DoH-compatible DNS server using an encrypted HTTPS connection instead of a plain text one. This prevents third-parties from seeing what websites you are trying to access.
DNS over HTTPS (DoH) is a protocol for performing remote Domain Name System (DNS) resolution via the HTTPS protocol. A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver. Encryption by itself does not protect privacy, encryption is simply a method to obfuscate the data. As of March 2018, Google and the Mozilla Foundation started testing versions of DNS over HTTPS.
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable DNS over HTTPS (DoH) in Firefox for your account in Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10.
