Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Not related to any problem. All other browsers include a way to view a sites current ssl certificate along with the tls version and encryption methods in use.

Describe the solution you'd like A quick way to view a websites ssl cert and possibly the encryption in use. Similar to firefox/ chrome. Could be non fancy, like the output of "openssl s_client -connect example.com:443" or opening the cert in the systems built in cert viewer.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using openssl s_client -connect example.com:443" in a terminal

Additional context Example image from firefox. The view certificate button lets you view more about the cert. firefox_ssl

Indeed, could be useful! Seems that WebKit allows inspecting the certificate structure.

My main use for this is work. I often have to update ssl certs and this is always a handy way to quickly confirm they were updated properly. Thanks!

With regards to the UI, some work has been already done. See https://discourse.atlas.engineer/t/secure-connection-indicator-extension-padlock/874.
