      Currently when accessing a site using the wrong certificate, the advanced info does not show the domain the cert is supposed to be for.

      Example
      https://mim.icq.com
      https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=mim.icq.com&latest
      0_1554163599871_ICQ-wrong cert.jpg

      Knowledgeable users will know how to inspect the cert and which values are important, but most users will not.

      It would be useful to see a warning in the error message such as;

      mim.icq.com is trying to use the certificate from icq.net
      This certificate was issued to [insert certificate subject] and is valid for [insert subject alternative name] and was issued by [insert Issuer]

      This should make it easier to spot a misconfigured site from a compromised site, so aid the average user in making a decision who to contact or complain to.
