How to tell if a site is secure (Mac browser Safari)

idiotbutcherer SG

When one shops online using Windows, the safe site will display this padlock at the bottom of the browser, indicating that this is a secure site. However, it seems that for Mac browser Safari, this padlock is not displayed. Therefore, how would one tell if a site is secure in Safari?

See the padlock on the top right.

A "https://" in the address bar would be sufficient, I suppose.

HTTPS + padlock is considered a MUST nowadays. Previously, there were spoofed websites that used HTTPS without the padlock.

If a webbie prompts about the certificate error... the best is not enter. Unless you know the site itself.
