https prepender Extension

This is a very simple tool, which when clicked on the icon in the extension bar, grabs the current opened link, checks whether it is \"https\" or not, if not replaces the \"http\" with \"https\" and open the link in the new tab. It's that simple.

I made this tool for ease of my usability as I had to manually prepend multiple links many times a day.

I do not intend to add any new features to it, just publishing it to remove the annoying \"Turn off developer mode\" warning every time I open my chrome.
Thank you for using or not, whatever.
