Chrome extension forces secure Google searches

by Seth Rosenblatt

Google now offers an extension for Chrome that automates the process of adding the secure Google search site as a search engine to the Chrome 6.x branch. Google SSL Web Search is an extension, still in beta, that works with Chrome 6.0.419.0 and later on Windows and Linux computers.

First released in June 2010, installing the extension opens up a configuration window with a single button that will open Chrome's "add search engine" window. Here, you can set a keyword to speed up your use of Google SSL Web search. There are also instructions on how to set the SSL Web search as your default search engine, which is a simple procedure. Right-click on the Omnibox, Google's name for its location bar, choose Edit search engines, find Google SSL Web search, and set it as your default engine.
