The EFF's httpseverywhere extension works well, you need to set it to block if it can't upgrade the connection to tls

Great concept but the plugin is an absolute memory hog, and they've been unable to fix it.

They closed the old bug for no real reason:

https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/issues/1775

Then let the new bug rot:

https://github.com/EFForg/https-everywhere/issues/12232

They've now started deleting new comments on the new bug. I'm just not using it anymore.

The DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials¹ extension is a great alternative that I switched to.
