The SSL Grade Chrome extension provides a quick and easy way to view the security rating of a website's SSL connection. By leveraging SSLLabs.com's trusted SSL test API, this tool displays a clear security rating icon in the browser's address bar. This allows users to instantly recognize potential SSL vulnerabilities or problems on the sites they visit, enhancing online safety.

This extension respects user privacy by not collecting any data directly; however, it does query SSLLabs' public API to fetch SSL ratings for visited domains. The latest update fixes issues with scanning HTTP URLs and improves reliability. Open source and continuously enhanced, SSL Grade empowers users to stay informed about SSL quality with minimal effort.

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.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

SSL Grade requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.
