Here's the thing, the reason EV SSL certificates aren't a good purchase is nothing to do with the technicalities of the matter.
It has to do with "will users trust my site more if they see an EV cert"
And the answer to that (IMHO) is, no, definitely not.
Most users don't even notice when a site goes from HTTPS to HTTP, the chances that they will notice the difference between the display of an EV cert. and a DV cert. is negligable.
Ask yourself this, can you list the sites that you visit that use EV certs? If you can't, what's the chances your users will....

- marcosdumay 11y agoWell, my bank uses an EV cert. That's one of the few that matter. Of the last few sites where I brought something, most use a DV cert. I always check that, but I don't mind them not having an EV (I only mind plain text and bad crypto). Of course, I don't want to imply that my behavior is typical, because it's not. I'm just answering your question...
