Someone could create an extension like "Chromebleed" but hopefully they will do it better: that one isn't getting the best reviews.

I look at this test page: http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/

The amount of time needed to check the server seems to vary a lot, and the results often are not 100% clear... still, you may want to use that manual check for now.

I made a bookmarklet to simplify things a bit. You can use it as follows:

1. Press Ctrl+Shift+B (Mac: Command+Shift+B) to open the Library.
2. On the left, expand the All Bookmarks section, then click the Bookmarks Toolbar folder.
3. Click the Organize button on the top toolbar and choose New Bookmark.
4. Name the bookmark whatever you like (e.g. Heartbleed Check) and enter either of the following in the Location field: the first variant opens the check page in a new tab, while the second opens it in the current tab.
You can also enter a keyword (e.g. hbc); typing that keyword into the address bar and pressing Enter would then launch the bookmark.

javascript:void(window.open(%22http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/#%22+window.location.hostname));

javascript:window.location.href=%22http://filippo.io/Heartbleed/#%22+window.location.hostname;

5. Click the new bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar or type the keyword into the address bar to check the current domain.

Hi Gingerbread Man -- Sweet! But maybe load a new tab using window.open() rather than replacing the current page?

Hi jscher2000,

But maybe load a new tab using window.open() rather than replacing the current page?

Okay. I've added a variant that opens in a new tab to my previous post.

For what it's worth, Wikipedia lists some alternatives:

There's now an equivalent Firefox add-on:
