Bug Description

(initially reported as part of bug #1377194)

There is currently no visual cue to differentiate websites with normal certificates from websites with an Extended Verification certificate.

This may or may not be a problem.

For reference, I’ve tested chrome on android, and I’m not seeing any difference in the way EV certificates are displayed to the user (with respect to normal certificates). On desktop and tablets the name of the organization is displayed on the left of the URL, but obviously on phones there’s not enough real-estate in the address bar.

It's going to have the same design as for the normal certificate, with a different set of details
