Definitely an issue. Chrome has already changed the SSL indicator to just read "secure" rather than naming the cert.

- duskwuff 10y agoNot that I'm aware of. Still displays the verified identity name for sites using EV certificates, like https://paypal.com/ https://paypal.com/ ("PayPal, Inc. [US]").
- eridius 10y agoOP is talking about DV certificates. Showing the verified legal identity for EV certificates is correct behavior, otherwise there's not much point to having one.
- duskwuff 10y agoIf that's what they meant, I'm still confused. Chrome has never displayed a certificate name in the address bar for DV certificates -- the "Secure" text for DV certificates is completely new; older versions just displayed a lock icon there.
- eridius 10y agoChrome uses green for the DV lock, though, which is a bad idea. EV certs taught users that green means good, and then Chrome decided to use it for DV certs too. So users are taught that green is good, and when they go to a DV site they see green text and it says "Secure", so they think they're safe. This is absolutely terrible design on Google's part.
