Google-chrome – How to view SSL Certificate details on Chrome when Developer Tools are disabled

It is possible to view a site's TLS certificate in Microsoft Edge, although it's somewhat tedious:

  • Click the ... option

    enter image description here

  • Click Open with Internet Explorer

Tedious; although one step shorter than viewing it in Chrome (when DevTools are available).

Best Answer

As of Chrome 60 it is possible to return certificate details under "lock" menu. This option has to be enabled manually by accessing chrome://flags/#show-cert-link.

When you enable it and restart the Chrome, option to view certificate will be visible when you click on lock icon.
