Certificate info missing from the address bar
-
Recent Chromium update creator a security issue in most Chromium based browser, I know Chrome & Vivaldi are affect, Opera is not affected.
When you click on the green lock to look at the certificate info it has been missing for a while now, and that can cause security issues as the average user can't look and verify the site certificate (how many of them are going to dig through the developer tools to find the info that used to be in the address bar?). Can't look at who the cert was issued by, when it expires or issued, can't look at the kind and strength of the encryption.

This was removed from chromium, and yeah, opera fixed it for themselves. Although it has to be said the info provided by opera is very sparse.
If it's important to you having easy access to it you could use an extension until Vivaldi does something about it.

Should come back something with chromium 60 (screen of google canary)
-
@Gwen-Dragon mmh.. i can't say anymore as this canary update itself (it's on 61, now).
But... this feature is under a
chrome://flags
-
"Show certificate link" - not enabled by default.
It seems to be the same on chr61.Even this (
--show-cert-link
) on chromium 60+ shortcut should work, according tochrome://version

@Gwen-Dragon Yes, it's not a big "wow info popup" but it's immediate.
I hope vivaldi keep on the flag jumping to chr60 ^^
