Ugly HTTP for Chrome version 2.0.0 has been released, providing users with a simple yet effective way to identify whether a webpage is using the HTTP or HTTPS protocol at a glance. This Chrome extension addresses a common oversight: in the hustle of daily browsing, users often overlook the security status of the pages they visit. To combat this, Ugly HTTP allows users to customize the color displayed for HTTP pages, with a selection of eight different color schemes to choose from.
The setup process is straightforward: users can download the extension, pin it to their toolbar, and select their preferred color theme to enhance their browsing experience. By default, HTTP pages are shown in a faded format, but users can opt for various themes, including faded grayscale, sepia, wide-blur, overexposed, red, blue, and flip-hue, to better alert them to potential security risks.
In addition to its primary function, this extension serves as a reminder of the importance of secure browsing practices. Users may also find it helpful to consider similar tools and tips for enhancing their online security, such as learning how to enable tracking prevention in Microsoft Edge, preventing Google Chrome from saving browsing history, or setting Google Chrome to always start in Incognito mode on Windows 10 and 11.
Overall, Ugly HTTP for Chrome 2.0.0 is a valuable tool for anyone looking to improve their awareness of web security while browsing, offering a simple solution to a common problem
