I don't know how recent this change is but I noticed #Firefox removed https:// from the address bar so now every link and every website I visit looks insecure. I know there is a padlock icon next to the address bar but it doesn't seem quite as easily scannable to me.

@Gargron@mastodon.social I think browsers started removing https indicators around 2019. Generally people don’t notice something like the padlock is missing, so they are instead going to mark it red if site is not https. As certificates have become free and something like 99% internet is https I think that makes 100% sense.
