Microsoft Edge now can automatically switch users to a secure HTTPS connection when visiting websites over HTTP. The feature is in preview in the Canary and Developer preview channels and is rolling out to select users of Microsoft Edge 92. The automatic switch to an HTTPS connection will protect Edge users from man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. Microsoft is not the first major web browser vendor to add an option to enable HTTPS on all websites automatically. Google Chrome defaults to HTTPS for URLs typed in the address bar if no protocol is specified.
