Comment (by antonela):

 hi! Is hard for me to find a ticket that holds all these issues
 holistically, so I'll make my best try here:

 We can unify the way we visually intent to associate the onion routing,
 the tor network, and the onionsite. I'm iterating our v1 version of onion
 security indicators (#23247) using a plain-color version of the new Tor
 Browser icon.

 Since EV certificates indicators are going to be removed from the URL bar,
 major browsers are using the identity dropdown to show certificates
 related nformation.

 If we decide to remove the EV certificate name in #26491, I'm suggesting
 to keep the known lock for onions with issued certificates. In that case,
 the Tor Browser URL bar will have a [Lock] + [onion] icon. Self-signed
 certificates are being discussed at #13410.

 I think Onionsites with mixed-content scenarios should follow Firefox
 treatment on HTTPS with mixed-content scenarios.

 That said, Tor Browser identity dropdown could look like:

 1/

 2/
 [[Image(https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/raw-
 attachment/ticket/27657/O2A4%20-%2027657.2.png, 700px)]]

 Is redundant having both sections at the identity dropdown with the same
 icon? What do you think?

 PS > Do we have a list of onions for testing like
