It caused internet problems for me. It wouldn't load any website while it was enabled on Chrome, today.

Yup. The extension was creating a huge CPU load on my Mac. Started happening yesterday and tested each Chrome extension to find this was the one creating the issue.

Same. It prevented pages loading and caused Chrome to completely lock up.

I visited bbc.co.uk about 20 minutes ago, and started getting requests which apparently came from the BBC asking me to allow an Apple ID SSL certificate. I wonder if this is why.

It was asking me which SSL client cert I wanted to present to identify to beta.bbc.co.uk. In my case I have my StartCom one and a OSG science one.

Yep I got this too, beta.bbc.co.uk 443 cert etc.

No other site would load either until I disabled the extension.

Oh my that was it! I had been wondering about it and disabled plenty of extensions, but not this one. Also made me realize that I should use Firefox more often again...

Ya, the plugin causes lots of problems. It can mangle headers on XHR to sites that aren't using https. Spent a day debugging problems that turned out to just be https everywhere.

It's been working fine for me for months. No problems today, either.

I actually just had to disable it an hour ago, It wouldn't let me go to any website.

And then I found this article...
