At a glance, looks about 75% accurate for me. But what really freaked me out is that it correctly flagged a financial institution (not a major one) where I have an account yet feel pretty sure I haven't visited the website in months.

Yeah, part of the nice/scary thing about HSTS is that it is a highly persistent cache. The browser is reluctant to clear it because it's a security feature. So HSTS pins can be stored for up to a year in FF/Chrome, even if you are deleting cookies regularly.
