[QUOTE="qua3k, post: 953664, member: 92539"] The reason behind this change is because of situations like this one. Users should be looking for negative feedback instead of trivially faked positive feedback; non-secure sites have been known to fill pages with locks indicating 'secure'. EV certs also don't work to protect users, which is why the info was also hidden. See [URL unfurl="true"]https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/security/ev-to-page-info.md[/URL] Extensions are insecure. Granting an extension the ability to script all origins and communicate to an external server is harmful. [/QUOTE]
