Heartbleed bug is a very nasty Internet problem that affects us all. Dealing with it is complex and not clear at this time, but one thing that many Internet users want to do is check to see which sites may still be subject to bugs.
How accurate this extension I do not know and they have some other limitations but I still think it was worth it for the way out.
This extension is available here. It puts a small icon in the menu bar Heartbleed browser. When you go to a web site, the icon shows green for sites that are "safe", red for a site still vulnerable to the bug, and yellow for possible vulnerable. I found that it stayed white for many sites, indicating that it can not determine the status of the site.
This extension itself does not check the site but use of web services Filippo Valsorda.The green icon does not distinguish between sites previously vulnerable but patched and sites that never had a problem.
Added: Unless you refresh the tab, it seems that you might get a result that remains of a previous site.
Chromebleed for Chrome browser
This extension is available here. Heartbleed placed an icon on the menu bar of the browser. If you go to the site unpatched, a warning popup will appear. Popup also showed showed some of the sites as "safe". This extension may also use a web service of Filippo Valsorda. As with Firefox extensions, Ranked "safe" does not distinguish between sites previously vulnerable but patched and sites that never had a problem.
Unfortunately, the instructions are lacking but I found from the reviews that you have to enable the extension setting "Allow access to berkasURL" and also the choice of the extension "Show all notifications" and restart Chrome. Sometimes there is a delay of 15 seconds or more after I go to a site before the popup window appeared.
A note of caution
Questions about the effectiveness of the patch for the bug Heartbleed. Recent problems reported about the patches issued by Akamai means that there may be ambiguity in the rating of "safe" given to some sites. Still no easy solution to this major security problem.
