Certainly Something (Certificate Viewer)

Uses the new TLS Info API in Firefox to view information about the current state of your HTTPS connection.

It currently requires at least Firefox 62.

Developing and Installing Locally

It is recommend that developers use web-ext for installation and testing. It provides a number of useful features, such as automated installation and autoreload upon source changes.

Install web-ext using the following command:

$ npm install --global web-ext

For testing and development, run the following commands in two separate terminal windows:

$ npm run-script watch
$ web-ext run --browser-console -s build --start-url 'https://badssl.com/'

If you are simply looking to give it a single run, you can compile it by running:

$ npm install
$ npm run-script compile

And then in Firefox, go to -> Add-ons -> Extensions -> (Gear Icon) -> Debug Add-ons -> Load Temporary Add-on

Navigate to build/manifest.json and it should start running immediately.

Kudos

Thanks so much to Ryan Hurst and Yury Strozhevsky for doing the painful work in PKI.js and ASN1.js, without which this project could not have been accomplished.
