This plugin works very well i only have 1 issue with it, i cannot by forehand allow access to all sites since google removed the padlock icon this is a nice plugin to see very easy if a website is using ssl the correct way but every site require access resulting in the icon to represent "NO" so meaning the site is not secure I want a function to allow access to all websites in 1 click then you can get a 5 star from me ;)

Works very well and saves me time because I use SSL Labs to check sites often

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.
