Chrome and Firefox Changes Spark the End of EV Certificates

Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers plan to do away with showing a company’s name in the address bar. Chrome will remove the EV Certificate indicator from the browser’s address bar starting in Chrome 77. Mozilla will also remove EV certificate’s identity information from Firefox 70 starting in Firefox 68 and 70. Google determined that the EV indicator does not protect users as intended and takes up valuable screen real estate. Chrome team recently removed EV indicators from the URL bar in Canary and announced their intent to this change in September.
