Call me old-school, but I really liked how EV certs looked in the browser. Same with the big green lock icon Firefox used to have. I know it's all theatrics at best and a scam at worst, but I really feel like it's a bit of a downgrade.

"it's all theatrics at best"

Only IT understand any of this SSL/TLS stuff and we screwed up the messaging. The message has always been somewhat muddled and that will never work efficiently.

I agree, making EV Certs visually more important makes sense to people who know what it means and what it doesn't. Too bad they never made it an optional setting.
