For now, you can star the issue I linked to.

That's what I was wondering. Whose brilliant idea was this and what was the rationale, does anyone know?

There are quite a few decisions/bugs/lack-of-feature I see in google product that makes me wonder to whom such things make sense or doesn't matter.

It is so needless too. Users already had to click "Secure," and then a blue link, all they did was change a useful blue link (to the certificate info) to a useless one (Learn More[0]).

As a technical user, I was using certificate info multiple times a day, even on sites where I didn't want nor need the developer bar open. Now I keep on opening the Developer Bar to check the certificate and it shoots me straight into emulation mode, disrupting my entire workflow.

They should just re-add it at the bottom by "Site Settings."
