Honestly? This looks like a great set of changes, especially making the search options more prominenet
I'm scared
These actually seem like a useful featureset, but I'd like to know where I can view the certificate information of a site now.
- The screenshots mostly show the UI while typing, which is when it's presumably hidden...
  
  Based on the feature description, I think it seems more likely that the padlock/cert info isn't shown at all, similar to Chrome's recent change. Though at least Mozilla isn't framing it as if that was somehow information that confuses people.
As long as they don't remove my ability to still have a separate search field beside the address bar, I'll still be happy. I know it has probably been a decade since Chrome merged the search and address bars (and Firefox followed), but IMO it makes the experience of both searching and typing addresses worse, in exchange for a at best mildly cleaner UI.
snip, forgot that was changed from default
