What percentage of users do you think routinely check for the presence of an EV or OV certificate on the sites they're browsing?

I think it's much, much higher in the aging population.

The only place where the presence of an OV certificate is exposed is in the certificate details dialog -- the same dialog that will typically display arcane technical details like the public key and signature of the certificate. Non-technical users never look at this.
