Good news, everybody!

You dont need this extension anymore!

Reddit has finally implemented https, and its about damn time, too!

Check out the blog post: http://www.redditblog.com/2014/09/hell-its-about-time-reddit-now-supports.html To enable the feature, go to this page: https://ssl.reddit.com/prefs/security/ OR Simply use https://www.reddit.com.

OR Add Reddit to the wonderful https everywhere extension.

Enjoy!!

NOTE: Ill be leaving this extension on the webstore for people that still want it.

The latest update stops directing people to pay.reddit.com and instead directs them to http://reddit.com.

Users should just migrate to HTTPS Everywhere at this point :) ---------------------------------------- The NSA.

I was trying to give this extension a bit of a sinister introduction, but I suppose I failed at that :/... Anyways, behold!

I give to you... SecuReddit!

The first (and best) extension to automatically keep your leisurely reddit browsing safe from prying eyes!

**What IS SecuReddit SecuReddit is an extension that makes use of the power of Chrome alongside the well known hack to use an https encrypted version of Reddit.

Basically, it redirects reddit.com to https://pay.reddit.com, the purpose being that reddit.com is NOT encrypted, while https://pay.reddit.com IS.

**Wait, what Why do I need this extension https, you say HTTPS is an invaluable tool that keeps your web traffic (visiting web pages, viewing images, etc...) safe in transit.

http vs.

HTTPS is comparable to sending something on a postcard (where theres no protection on it at all, and anyone can look at it and see whats there) vs putting your letter in an envelope (e.g.

hiding your web traffic with encryption).

Because of this, all major websites have turned on HTTPS by default, except for our beloved Reddit (Whos administrators have been dragging their feet on the issue for whatever reason), which necessitates this extension to supplement our needs for security on todays web.
