In Chrome and IE its one or two clicks. I don't know why people tolerate Firefox's silly "ZOMG THIS SSL CERT MIGHT BE WRONG" 90-click UI. Joe Averge is still going to run through the clicks. Badgering the user with more prompts has been shown to not increase security and only frustrate power users.
