And right next to the lock icon is the DNS name that matched the cert.
This solves one problem with confusing URLs.
I view the padlock and the DNS name in that area completly superfluous.
It serves no real purpose and is so....90's really. Browsers really
advanced since...or do you look up and down just to compare the URL in
the address bar and then what's listed in the status bar?
It's however inconvenient and I personally never look there. Instead I
set browser.identity.ssl_domain_display to 1 in about:config.
That's also a good indicator. Setting it to 2 makes it show the same
value as shown down by the lock icon, the verified DNS name.
Yes, but it makes it sometimes too long. Additionally I like to know the
base domain since www.paypal.com.some.more.sub.domain.com/?p=sdlfhkd can
become confusing too.
I was thinking of the "scheme" in the address bar, e.g. https://
:-) Well....try to tell that to my mother....
