Honestly? This looks like a great set of changes, especially making the search options more prominenet

As long as they don't remove my ability to still have a separate search field beside the address bar, I'll still be happy. I know it has probably been a decade since Chrome merged the search and address bars (and Firefox followed), but IMO it makes the experience of both searching and typing addresses worse, in exchange for a at best mildly cleaner UI.

These actually seem like a useful featureset, but I'd like to know where I can view the certificate information of a site now.

The screenshots mostly show the UI while typing, which is when it's presumably hidden...

[-] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

Based on the feature description, I think it seems more likely that the padlock/cert info isn't shown at all, similar to Chrome's recent change. Though at least Mozilla isn't framing it as if that was somehow information that confuses people.

This screenshot shows a shield icon next to the address bar:

If they want to get rid of the padlock icon, I'd guess, they'll group the certicate into there, together with the toggle for Tracking Protection.

I guess, we could also download Nightly and see for ourselves...

Fair enough, just haven't been in a position to take a look. The screenshot may show it, but it shows it in the scenario they describe should show it.
