René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Let's rethink the new icons","articleBody":"I love that the icons flip in v1.0.  Great job!\r\n\r\nI'm not sure about the color choice.  My immediate thought was \"they are backwards\".  But I understand what you're going for.\r\n\r\nRight now, on an HTTPS site, the icon is red, indicating that if you press it, something \"bad\" will happen: the loss of HTTPS.  Makes sense.  But that means every time the user is on a \"good\" site (HTTPS), they will see red, indicating that there is a problem.  It seems backwards to me.\r\n\r\n**One option is to simply flip the icons from how they are now.  I think that is my preference.**\r\n\r\nAnother option would be to use the green icon on HTTPS sites, and a gray icon on HTTP sites.\r\n\r\nFinally, changing the lock symbol to be unlocked when on an HTTP site would be useful.  That way it indicates the state of the current site.\r\n\r\n*Thanks again for all your hard work.  You've done an incredible job!*","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Gitoffthelawn","@type":"Person","name":"Gitoffthelawn"},"datePublished":"2017-05-22T18:17:02.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":37},"url":"https://github.com/6/add-https/issues/6"}
