How to configure Edge to use

A few days ago we saw how Microsoft was preparing an improvement in Edge that was going to improve security by making it possible for all pages that could use the HTTPS protocol by default. An option that can already be activated in the Canary version of the Microsoft browser.

If you are concerned about security when browsing, the difference between accessing via HTTP or HTTPS is surely not unknown to you A system by which which equipment (our computer, phone, tablet... and the rest connect to pages using a coded language, proof of invaders and with greater security.A capability that is now available starting with version 92 of Edge.

How to enable the automatic HTTPS function

"

If you have any of the development versions of Edge that you can download from this link, you can now activate the automatic configuration of the HTTPS protocol in Edge , for now only in the Canary version. And as usual, we will have to use the Flags menu."

To enable or disable the automatic HTTPS protocol in Edge we must have a current version that is equal to 92.X. XXX.X. Once inside we can enable it by typing in the address bar Edge://flags to access the options menu. We can save steps by typing Edge://flags/edge-automatic-https

"

In one way or another we try to access the option edge-automatic-https and activate the option by checking the boxEnabled. At that point we only have to restart the browser by clicking on Relaunch."

"

With this option activated, we now go to Settings and within the Privacy, search and services search in Security the statement Automatically switch to more secure connections with automatic HTTPSwhere we can choose between two options:"

• Switch to HTTPS only on websites that support HTTPS
• Change always from HTTP to HTTPS (may cause more connection errors)

From then on, when typing a non-protocol website address, the browser first connects to the HTTP version and then if possible redirects to the one you use HTTPS, thus reinforcing security. However, they already warn that if the second option is used, navigation errors may occur, so the interesting thing is to activate the first one.
