ssl errors in chrome

Chrome has, quite possibly, the best ssl error page I’ve ever seen:

The page you see in chrome when visiting an https page with an invalid ssl certificate.

The page you see in chrome when visiting an https page with an invalid ssl certificate.

  1. “https” is crossed out.  That’s genius.  That’s miles better than just color (especially for the colorblind), and it immediately communicates to me that the webpage has told me something (https) that chrome has discovered is wrong.
  2. Lots of red all around – good stuff.
  3. Only one link – “Help me understand”
  4. Calls attention that you shouldn’t proceed especially if you haven’t seen the warning before for this site.

Kudos, chrome developers.
