Description:
I've been using vimperator with set gui=nonavigation to force myself to use it as much as possible.
Without the navigation bar, however, there's no visual indication of the certified identity of an https site owner:
Desired behavior:
It would be nice if this information appeared in the status bar, as in the mock-up below:
I think this would clutter the UI too much. The SSL indicator should be enough for most people and a click on it shows you all information.
Do you think it would be possible/less objectionable to display this only if/when the navigation bar is hidden?
@SammysHP what SSL indicator are you referring to? When using Vimperator with set gui=nonavigation, the only indication about ssl is the protocol scheme in the url. This means nothing except that the protocol https is being used to access the site, and conveys no information about the validity of the ssl certificate being used.
