EV ssl certs green bar not displayed with chromium version 43 but version 44 has it


Maybe find a repository with all the chromium binaries somewhere and start testing one by one, locating the releases where the issue appeared/disappeared and dig the source code changes? Does such a repo even exist?

The easiest way would be to download and test on portable versions. You can find them at:

PortableApps :: Google Chrome Portable

There are 313 versions on repo, 25 of them v43.0.xx, wish you luck.


Google have announced that they will require Certificate Transparency (CT) for all EV certificates issued after January 1, 2015. If a CT proof is not included either in the Certificate or as part of an OCSP stapled response, the EV certificate will not display the green address bar in Chrome.

I noticed that you have mentioned that it works in version 44. Still I mentioned the Certificate Transparency as this is a known issue.

There has been multiple instances reported where chrome has not shown the green bar. Some have reported this as a bug to google forums. There has been reports of such behaviour on chrome of different versions and on different Operating systems. (Windows,Ubuntu,Mac).But many of these could not be reproduced by google and hence no concrete solution is provided on these forums.
