They also updated Chrome a long time ago to stop showing which protocol you are using on the address bar, which IMO is a very stupid decision. I want to know if the site I'm accessing has HTTPS by looking at the URL, I never asked someone to hide the protocol part of it. Okay, there's the green padlock, but still, I want my full URL, I don't want my browser to hide my URLs.

They're making these changes for the average user who doesn't know the difference and who can't tell if a site is secure or not based on the protocol part (or who misinterpret what it means in terms of security vs trustworthiness). The padlock is no longer green in Chrome and will be going away next month too. The states will just be secure (no warnings) or not secure (displaying a warning). It shouldn't be something people have to think about in this day and age unless there is a problem (e.g. cert expired, cert mismatch, not encrypted at all) as sites should just be secure by default.
