Stopbleed

Displays a warning if the site you are browsing is affected by the Heartbleed bug (Official Release)
What is Stopbleed?
Stopbleed is a powerful Chrome extension designed to safeguard your browsing activities against the infamous Heartbleed bug. As an enhancement of the original Chromebleed Extension, Stopbleed displays a warning if the site you're on is affected by Heartbleed. It employs a web service developed by Filippo Valsorda to test the domain you're visiting, and if found vulnerable, a Chrome notification pops up. Its version 2.2.3 offers improved less permission-hungry functionality and fixed notifications.

Très efficace et utile.

This is awesome. (Disclosuer: I know the developer.) Keep the fixes coming! It is pretty cool to see the icon change based on the tab I am using. I like that I can turn the extension off without having to disable it.
