This is ridiculous. I like the way it's set up now. They tried "simpler" before and I hated it and turned it off. Along with the news they're supposedly getting rid of tags for bookmarks (I have so many bookmarks without tags they'd be useless) I'm just feeling so much despair for the web right now.

Also disabling showing HTTPS in the address bar as part of the URL is another negative change catering to what they believe is the lowest common denominator. Consider for a moment that browsers still support multiple protocols besides hypertext transfer.

Consider for a moment that browsers still support multiple protocols besides hypertext transfer.

When the protocol is not https, then it will show it. In fact, it will show if the page is http and not https.

The lock icon (the one showing certificate information when clicked) only shows when the page is https, so essentially that icon replaces the https://
