Smart HTTPS VS Sable by SubRosa

• Automatic Redirection to HTTPS
  Smart HTTPS automatically changes HTTP protocol to HTTPS, which enhances the security of your browsing by ensuring that the connection is encrypted.
• Fallback to HTTP
  In cases where an HTTPS version of the site is not available, it can automatically revert back to HTTP, ensuring you can still access the website instead of facing a disruption.
• Whitelist Feature
  Allows users to maintain a whitelist of websites that should always be accessed using HTTP, providing flexibility and control over the browsing experience.
• Improved Privacy
  By automatically using HTTPS, it helps in protecting user data from eavesdroppers and enhances privacy while browsing the web.

Possible disadvantages

• Compatibility Issues
  Some websites may not function correctly over HTTPS, leading to potential misbehavior or broken features when accessed using Smart HTTPS.
• Potential for Increased Loading Times
  Sometimes, redirecting to HTTPS can result in slightly longer loading times, especially if the server's configuration is not optimal for HTTPS.
• Resource Intensive
  The addon might consume additional resources to check for HTTPS versions of every site, which could impact browser performance, especially on older systems.
• Limited Control Over Redirection
  Users might have limited ability to control which sites are redirected to HTTPS if they haven't preemptively whitelisted specific HTTP sites.

• Multi-tenant client management
  Manage compliance for every client from one account, with each client's data kept fully separate.
• Framework management
  Track controls and progress against security and compliance frameworks, with requirements mapped and status visible at a glance.
• Evidence management
  Store and organize the evidence behind each control, so proof is ready when a customer or auditor asks for it.
• Policy management
  Create, store and maintain security policies in one place, with ownership and review dates attached.
• Vendor risk management
  Keep a register of third party vendors with their documents, risk ratings and review dates.
• In-house security team
  Access to SubRosa's security team for penetration testing, SOC monitoring and incident response when a control needs a real security person.
• Findings tracking
  Log security findings, from pen tests or scans, and track remediation through to closure.
• White-label client views
  Clients see your branding rather than Sable's.
• Portfolio dashboard
  Every client's compliance posture on a single screen.

• “We don’t track you … except for when we get paid for it.”

  Smart HTTPS, site This tries to send you to https sites instead of http sites. Using http sites makes you venerable to man in the middle attacks. (dont use http on public wifis if possible). Source: over 4 years ago

• question about non secure websites

  I'd recommend using Smart HTTPS which automatically makes your site's HTTPS if it can offer it so it will reduce these situations. Here's the site where you can choose whichever browser you use. https://mybrowseraddon.com/smart-https.html. Source: over 4 years ago
