Description from store πŸ”’ SSL Level Light - SSL Certificate Level Indicator πŸ“Œ Overview SSL Level Light is a Chrome extension that automatically analyzes the type and level of SSL certificate used by the website you're visiting, and intuitively displays it as a color-coded icon (traffic light) next to the address bar. It helps users easily identify websites using free SSL certificates and prevent potential access to phishing or malicious pages. πŸ›  Key Features Instantly recognize the website's security level via an icon next to the address bar 🟒 Green: Website using a paid commercial SSL certificate 🟑 Yellow: Website using a short-term free certificate (e.g., Let's Encrypt, etc.) πŸ”΅ Blue: Website using a certificate from a trusted issuer (e.g., Signgate: Sectigo, etc.) βšͺ Gray: Certificate is missing, expired, or cannot be verified πŸ”΄ Red: Reported or verified as a malicious, phishing, or scam site. ⚠ Security Awareness Feature Browser padlock icons only indicate the existence of an SSL certificate, without revealing the trust level or issuer, making it difficult for users to accurately assess security. Recently, phishing websites have been increasingly using free SSL certificates. According to a 2021 report by PhishLabs, 83% of phishing sites used Domain Validated (DV) SSL certificates. In 2022, 90.5% of phishing websites were using SSL. The 2023 APWG report confirms this trend, showing that the majority of phishing sites now use valid SSL certificates. In short, the presence of an SSL certificate alone is no longer a reliable indicator of a website’s trustworthiness. SSL Level Light addresses this issue by visually indicating the level of SSL certificate used, helping users make better-informed security decisions. For example, when accessing a site using a free certificate, it displays a yellow warning to alert the user. πŸ” Privacy Protection No user information is collected No personal or browsing data is collected No browser access logs are stored
