On EV certs, Troy Hunt rightly pointed that no one really cares about them and many major websites (amazon, youtube, facebook) don't even bother:

Well that certainly makes me feel a lot better about cheaping out on non-EV certs. Thanks for sharing.

I care :-(

Do you? Are you going to stop going to a site because it's missing a EV certificate?

No, but if I'm going to log in it forces me to check to make sure the domain is not something deceptively similar to what I expect, which takes mental energy and is therefore annoying.

Also, unlike apparently everyone else, I care who I'm communicating with, not what their domain is.
