    Not a browser extension but still works much the same by running in the background of the system.

    HTTPS Everywhere and similar browser add-ons are available for Firefox, Chrome and Opera, but not for Safari. SSL Enforcer is the only way to get this important functionality when using Safari. A bonus is that its adds protection not only to my browser traffic but to other HTTP connections as well (e-mail, plug-ins), as SSL Enforcer is an app that intercepts all insecure HTTP connections that go to the predefined ports 80, 88, 3128, 8080-8088 for all applications.

    HTTPZ is meant to be unobtrusive and lightweight. Is very configurable, and should be slightly more secure than some of the alternatives out there, since it has a couple of built-in ways to defend against SSL stripping attacks.
