If the browser (or even the URL that got the user there) even so much as shows the string "https", that is a form of positive feedback. The only responsible way for a browser to act is to give a strong negative feedback, to more than offset any potential positive feedback.
- goldmab 16y agoChrome (in some situations, I forget which) puts the "https" in red and strikes it through. The implied message: this is HTTPS, but it's broken or bad. The important thing here is that a browser can do something like this without interrupting something that the user actually cares about with an annoying message. Annoying messages are bad.
