User reviews

Pros
  • Excellent extension that provides detailed information on SSL certificates as well as the server that a website runs on.
Cons
  • Does not work (reports SQL exception errors).
  • All this extension does is send a query to www.sslchecker.com, which some users consider sloppy.
  • Doesn't cache results, requiring users to wait for a re-check each time.

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 Checker requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Low Request access to the following domains: {{requestedDomains}}
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. 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.

SSL Checker has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
