Abstract
In the present world scenario where data is meant to be protected from intruders and crackers, everyone has the fear to keep their private data safe. As the data is stored on servers accessed through websites by browsers, it’s the browsers, which act as a medium between a user and the server to send or receive data. As browsers send data in plain text, any data which is sent could easily be intercepted and used against someone. Hence this led to the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which are cryptographic protocols designed to provide communication security over the Internet. A layer on top of SSL/TLS, support an encrypted mode, also known as HTTPS (HTTP Secure). Therefore, one of the main aspect of security lies in the website supporting HTTPS. Most websites have support for this encrypted mode and still we use an unencrypted mode of websites because a common user is unaware of the advancements in the field of technology. So to help us, in browsers, we have extensions or plug-ins to ease our life. This paper proposes the idea to implement the security measures in the web browsers.

Summary
Now-a-days, the browsers are the common application which people use to obtain information and share the same with others. Browsers are said to be secured when the data is sent from the browser, only based on what type of layer of security the website has used. Few websites use HTTPS which makes the website secure by encrypting data using long term public and secret keys, before sending. It depends on whether a website has this support for HTTPS or not. Most famous browsers like Chrome and Firefox have their own web store for extensions which can be downloaded and used by anyone. This paper combines secure web browsing using HTTPS focusing on website redirection using browser extension and spam filtering to save the user’s personal data and to make his browsing experience secure. The links which are classified as spam are stored in a vault for future references for spam and secure redirection
