Doc Flay (ID: 0000003a2f1ba2c0) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/23/2019 Works very well and saves me time because I use SSL Labs to check sites often

icon

Zere Bruin (ID: 0000005b67cbb4dc) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 11/10/2017 Does not add much value, as sites that are not listed on SSLLabs. Would be really useful, if one could trigger an actual SSL check, but this way. Also unclear why this extension needs access to the browsing history.

Juri Kononov (ID: 000000e828608d26) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 03/07/2017 totally useless for personal user, if your sites aren't FB or Google.

杨小明 (ID: 0000006a109984c5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/02/2017 good job

Jake Brown (ID: 00000098f584a6b5) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/15/2017 Quick & easy way to check your pages if you're in charge of keeping them secure. Also defaults to hiding the result which is nice.
