longtime ff user on multiple machines. is this something that the average guy can install/use/understand? thanks, bub
I installed it in about 1 minute. The default options are fine. And if you want to experiment and modify options, that is very easy to do.

But this is a set & forget add-on. Once installed, it will only alert you to a problem if something is wrong when you connect to a HTTPS web site where you have been subject to a MITM attack or where the web site has been hijacked by a DNS attack. So most likely, most people will never see this addon do anything.
