Google Chrome to no longer show secure website indicators - silversurfer - 05 August 21

Quote:Google Chrome will no longer show whether a site you are visiting is secure and only show when you visit an insecure website.
 
Currently, when you visit a secure site, Google Chrome will display a little locked icon indicating that your communication with the site is encrypted, as shown below.

As most website communication is now secure, Google is testing a new feature that removes the lock icon for secure sites. This feature is available to test in Chrome 93 Beta, and Chrome 94 Canary builds by enabling the 'Omnibox Updated connection security indicators' flag.
