Status of Browsers and EV Indicators
Browsers are in a time of change for Extended Validation (EV) SSL indicators. Where once all popular browsers reliably displayed the company name in green to the left of the web address, now Chrome and Firefox have decided to remove the company name and require a click on the lock icon to see the certificate’s identity information.
Among the five most popular browsers by market share, that leaves Edge and Internet Explorer displaying a company name in green and Safari indicating that authenticated identity information is available by displaying its lock icon in green.
