Certificate Patrol

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Certificate Patrol fills a gap in browser security, but does so at the cost of frightening popups that are far beyond most users. After recommending Certificate Patrol as part of a security overhaul, 0 out of 8 users are still using the software after 1 week. This is entirely due to the number of type and number of alerts for popular websites such as Twitter.

Adopting a strategy such as SSLEverywhere's observatory to verify certificates or just including IDs with the extension to verify like Chrome would go a long way to improving usability. As it stands, I would love to recommend or use the plugin, but it just isn't there yet.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.14.1-signed.1-signed).

I recently upgraded to the latest version to find the user interface has changed with the drop downs missing. There is no way to revert this change except to uninstall the upgraded version and downgrade to a previous working version.

DO NOT UPGRADE!

Edit: Everything below added after the developer reply.

Thank you for returning the mouse drop down lists in version 4.0.6! I have not tested it yet, but I hope I can just disable the text input entirely. The rating/review above is for version 4.0.4 *without* the mouse drop down lists and I stand by the one star review because there was a significant interface change without an option to disable it.

For anyone else that just doesn't want to use any new interfaces or tweak any options, you can install the last known good version 3.3.10 from here:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/send-later-3/versions/?page=1#version-3.3.10

You can also stop all automatic updates for addons by editing the update options:

You can also edit the about:config options in Thunderbird to change extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault from true to false.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (4.0.4).
