Bug Description

(initially reported as part of bug #1377194)

Steps to reproduce:

 1) Browse to e.g. https://testssl-expire.disig.sk/
 2) Accept the certificate error (by clicking on the "Proceed anyway" button)
 3) The page with an invalid certificate loads

Expected result: there is some sort of visual cue in the chrome to signify that the connection is potentially insecure.
Current result: there is no visual cue in the chrome.

For reference, I tested firefox and chromium on desktop: firefox just pretends nothing happened if an exception was added (i.e. it says the connection is secure and displays a padlock icon), whereas chromium displays a padlock with a cross over it, and the "https" part of the address is striked through. Two rather different approaches.
