CheckMyHTTPS

CheckMyHTTPS ensures that your HTTPS connections are not hijacked and therefore not listened to.

CheckMyHTTPS: Secure your Web Browsing Experience

CheckMyHTTPS is a Chrome extension dedicated to the security of your web browsing. It provides a simple but effective check on the safety of your HTTPS connections to prohibit interception, decryption, and eavesdropping activities. By comparing the security certificate of the visited site, it instantly flags any potential risks. Users are notified of compromised connections through a simple color scheme: a green icon for a secured connection and a red icon for compromised ones.

User reviews

Installed on my Laptop since I use it out with public hotspots. Works well. (12/11/2021)

Requires installing Python, which a user who is likely to be subject to SSL MITM attacks (for example in the workplace) is also likely not going to have administrative permissions or the ability to install it. The addon should be completely self-contained and not require elevated user privileges to install.
