That is the idea of the "insecure" text, they will display it when the browser detects a form with a password field, a form requesting credit card information, and stuff like that. I am not completely sure, but I believe they will continue showing the information icon only for the rest of the pages if the site is not on HTTPS.
- frik 10y agoIt's the typical salami tactic. And I am not falling for that. You know it's how Facebook changed their privacy settings all the time (at least in 2009-2012 timeframe). Or how Microsoft is changing the UI and user privacy Windows 8/10 and Office 365/2016. 1) Two steps forward (ignoring all user feedback, focused on internal aganda) 2) Public outcry, pending backslash 3) One step back (PR announcement like "we care..., we want the best for the user...), repeat with step 1 Everyone who knows about how it works, will hate that tactics. Sadly, many with less insight fall for such evil tactics.
