Show certificate type and (if OV or EV cert) organization

[raph431]

I would love to be able to easily differentiate between DV and other types of certificates.
IMO DV certificates are far too easy to obtain nowadays, therefore I'd love to see the certificate type in the popup.
And if it is an Organization or Extended Validation certificate, why not show the name of the organization as well.

Thanks a lot for this add-on. It helps a lot.

EV certificates do not make websites more secure.

Thank you for the link. While this is interesting, I dare to disagree. In order to "hack" a website with a DV certificate, a breach of the nameserver is sufficient. For a website with an EV certificate, one has to steal the key from the webserver. While it might be possible to register a company with the same name and get an EV certificate for that company, I don't think any of this is possible to do anonymously. Who would identify to register a company in order to defraud people?

I also think adding this distinction would make sense for the utility of the extension.
