Digitalization has taken over the world, the Internet has firmly entered our lives, gadgets have become an integral part of ourselves. This also applies to marketing. It is difficult to imagine the work of a marketer now without digital technologies. Websites, blogs, podcasts, social networks, e-mail, messengers, and much more – all this falls within the scope of the modern marketing specialist.

HTTPS Everywhere
HTTPS Everywhere is produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by using clever technology to rewrite requests to these sites to HTTPS.
