| |   The page you are viewing was encrypted before being transmitted over   | |

Comments Grauw

If I may ask, how does this give added value compared to the existing page info window? I don’t really see a convincing use case for also having a similar window as a ‘bottom-bar’... Might as well add a source view bottom-bar as well then, and who knows what else.
