 Add a feature to search for, and rewrite unsafe URLs that have a secure
 counterpart *in the document itself*.
 This would be done either:

  * via extension options
  * as an extension to the extension
  * via a key combination to activate on demand

 As of yet, there is no way to see if a URL will be rewritten before
 visiting/downloading the resource it points to.
 Adding such a feature would greatly improve users' security.
