Extension summary

This extension will add an icon next to the links on a search page to notify you of the status of the Heartbleed Bug on the domain for the link.

This is brought to you by one of the major developers of Chromebleed and Stopbleed in the web store.

Features in version 0.1.1: Icon will show up in the address bar. The icon will only show up on pages that are linked for check. The extension can be turned ON and OFF with one single click.

Updates: Fixed some link updates. Show version number for reference.


Many servers have been patched already, many remain that have not been patched. Just like Stopbleed & Chromebleed, Heartbleed Search uses a web service developed by Filippo Valsorda and checks the URL of the page you have just loaded. This extension does not check the site from your location, but uses a service to check the domains on the search page.
