All computer users and all browsers are subject to having privacy information harvested by a secure site using a vulnerable version of OpenSSL, so yes you are just as vulnerable as everybody else on the internet and there is nothing that can be done on your end to prevent it.


Stay off of secure sites until they have informed you that they are safe to use. If they also say that they were vulnerable and have fixed it, change your password, but not before then.

Firefox and Chrome have ext or plugin for enduser about heartbleed bug warning.

There are some questions about the accuracy of these plug-ins. I would still use Klaus1's suggested site https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ to check any site that I securely connect to and provide sensitive information.

Can safari browser-plugin detect some web site which has heartbleed bug inside?

Nothing built-in and I have not run across a similar plug-in.
