## Introduction

In an era where website security is of utmost importance, ensuring that users access websites over HTTPS and consistently use the apex domain (i.e., example.com instead of www.example.com) can improve both security and user experience. This browser extension simplifies this process for users.

## Features

- **HTTPS Enforcement**: Automatically redirects users to the HTTPS version of websites if they access the HTTP version.
- **Apex Domain Redirection**: Removes the 'www' subdomain from the website URL, promoting a consistent domain structure.
- **Customization**: Users can configure the extension to exclude specific websites or choose not to enforce HTTPS or apex domain redirection on select domains.
- **Security**: Protects users from potential security risks associated with unencrypted HTTP connections.
