It’s a continuation of the trend that led to them removing Extended Validation indicators: https://duo.com/decipher/chrome-and-firefox-removing-ev-cert...

Here’s how they used to appear: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EBxdA7EWsAIQtc0.jpg

While I buy the reasoning that consumers simply ignore them, EV indicators would be really useful in a corporate setting to mitigate phishing attempts against employees. It’s much easier to train employees to “look for your company’s name in the green bar” before they sign into a site, than to understand how domains work and why login.yourcompany.com is OK but login-yourcompany.com isn’t.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to restore EV indicators in Chrome via MDM software or similar? Does anyone work at a company that does this?
