Firefox 70 Address Bar Gets New Security Indicators, Shames Insecure Sites
#1
Quote:The next Firefox major release will update the security indicators in the address bar and add a privacy icon to signal privacy threats on loaded pages.
The changes fix on the icons indicating an in/secure connection, site identity, as well as tracking and cryptomining activity.
 
As a large part of the websites loaded by Firefox are using the secure HTTPS transport, Mozilla will embrace the norm in the next release of its browser and take the color out from the green lock icon that now shows a TLS connection.
 
Starting Firefox 70, the crossed-out lock, a negative indicator currently displayed for insecure login pages, will also be visible for websites delivered through an insecure protocol like HTTP or FTP.
