@Gargron I think browsers started removing https indicators around 2019. Generally people don’t notice something like the padlock is missing, so they are instead going to mark it red if site is not https. As certificates have become free and something like 99% internet is https I think that makes 100% sense.

@Gargron But the red line through the padlock, “not secure” callout, and “http://” in the address bar is very in your face when visiting a connection that’s not secure.

@Gargron What frustrates me most is if you select it and copy and paste it, the "http://" or "https://" is i the pasted text.
How do I copy without that? You cannot. It is bad user experience to put something in your paste buffer that you didn't highlight. (I also honestly felt it was good for users to see "https://" because it reminds people that there is a network here. It also opens the door to using other protocols without confusing people too much.) -

@Gargron They actually do the opposite now (just like safari did for years): encryption is now the default, and it’s showing a big warning when https is not supported

@Gargron it’s a little shield on the iOS version and I’m pretty happy with that. I’m sure I get a warning if I go to a site without a certificate too, that is http:// is notified, not https:// these days of ubiquitous encryption

@Gargron I dunno, it has padlock right before the domain.

@Gargron that's because all the others do it that way now...

@Gargron agreed. 100%! This is a bad UI change.

@Gargron When you place the cursor at the left side of the url so you can pasted in "archive.is/" it mangles it now.
