Describe the issue you encountered:
Title mode does not show the lock icon so it's hard to know if the site is secure or not without hovering over the urlbar

Lock icon should always display the current status of the page

do you mean colored?

[bridiver]

no, I was thinking about http sites. In normal mode it shows for both, but only shows the lock for https in title mode

[bradleyrichter]

@bridiver In my experience, it is more important to know if the site is secure. Right now with the grey icon color in title mode, showing both may be problematic for differentiation.

I'll work an improvement into the new toolbar design changes though....

[bridiver]

sure, but I think it's good to draw attention to the lack of security as well

[bbondy]

I agree with that last point.

We will have new icons for these, and they will all work better in both modes when we switch over to the left-align URL bar layout.

we tried showing it in both locked and unlocked states at the beginning, but decided it was too visually noisy for most people (i think?)

[bridiver]

I saw something recently about either FF or Chrome doing something to display insecure sites. With httpse built-in it seems like showing insecure is more important than showing secure

[diracdeltas]

@bridiver yeah that was Chrome, we are planning on doing the same (showing a negative signal for insecure sites and not showing anything for secure sites)

Potential icons available (should be merged in)- see notes in #2178
