No. It ensures that all portions of a site are effectively secure. It was developed for use with TOR and ensures that all communications are encrypted. I can't do it justice in a short description here. Read up on it.
FWIW, Chrome is the only browser that throws a fit over this, and only when it is configured in a certain way.
HTTPS Doesnt only provide encryption but it also provides trust. Encryption is also quite useless without trust to protect against any active attacker.
How can this addon provide any information about the original servers authenticity? Sounds fishy to me.
