@ta2df: I dont know what is the wrong with developers when it comes to Opera addons, the conversion between an extension that works on Chrome to an extension that works on Opera is fairly simple.. Opera does have a caring user base!

@ta2df Hello, Opera has changed some requirements for file type restrictions that do not exist in Chrome. It involves one of our most important files, our rulesets bundle, which many services point to. In order to satisfy Opera's requirements we would have to let all of our other channels that reference this file know that a very important service they use is changing it's naming convention.
This has been tough to coordinate since we have to disrupt multiple other partners just to satisfy Opera's new restrictions. We do plan to change this over, so we ask for patience during this time.
Thank you.

@kavlito: It is automatically ensuring most sites switch to HTTPS when available. Sometimes, it's not available on a site so the extension can't do anything about that. However, it does have a feature to auto-block connections to sites that can't enable HTTPS. I'd only recommend that if you are on a highly sensitive PC; the average, home PC would be fine with just the basic functionality.

A must-have privacy extension for everyone, in my opinion. Why only one or two browsers has this built-in is beyond me. This extension encourages the browser to use the HTTPS protocol whenever it's available and gives you the option to outright block sites that don't use it (which is to say, not many sites nowadays). HTTPS essentially means that the only thing a would-be hacker or your ISP can see is the site you're visiting. They can't see the pages you visit or the information you send or receive from a site. This is especially important for anyone who purchases Anything online or for anyone who does online banking. However, if you're old-fashioned and don't do either of those, it's still useful. In essence, it means you'll get greater security and privacy with no slowdown and, unless you use it to block sites that don't use HTTPS, then it shouldn't break any sites either. Definitely download it immediately.

HTTPS Everywhere no longer needed?
Now that Firefox/Safari/Chrome/etc has an https-only mode, does that make the HTTPS Everywhere adding redundant?
BTW, there are a lot of free VPN services (+Opera VPN of course) to double your internet safety.

VPN isn't for safety, it doesn't achive anonymity, it doesn't achieve better privacy when working from home, it doesn't Defending you against “cyber threats” and identity theft,
However, a trustworthy VPN can be very effective at Encrypting your DNS requests so your ISP or mobile network provider cannot monitor or log the domains you visit.

@sammyberg: Not sure when this was made available...
go to: opera://settings/security
Enable: Always use secure connectionsa
Upgrade navigations to HTTPS and warn you before loading sites that don't support it
