Not sure how useful this really is

This is only really useful if you go to publicly accessible » (SSL) pages with self signed certificates. I can count the number of these I've seen over the last 10 years on one hand.

The vast majority of encrypted pages are from large corporations (banks, credit cards, Google, Yahoo, etc) and they can afford to have valid certificates.
