You can right click on the address bar and check the option "Always show full URLs" if you want to see the protocol still.
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.
