Certificate Info: Chrome Extension for Certificate Validation

'Certificate Info' is an open-source Chrome extension that provides validation level, expiry and additional information of the SSL/TLS server certificate of visited websites. It extracts certificate info for basic validation but should not be solely relied upon for certificate validation. The extension is designed for privacy, ensuring only hostnames, not full URLs, are processed by the backend API.

IPv6 support is missing. IPv6 website shows error

As working as a IT admin specialist, what I would really like to see that icon color would match how quickly certification expires. For example, green color: certificate doesn't expire in 60 days, orange color 30 days, red color 10 days, or something similar. Even better, if experience date would be actually visible all the time without clicking the icon. I would love somebody to implement this my own idea. You heard from me, I would appreciate to be mentioned in the credits.
