A general trend.

I've been aware of it since Linus Torvalds pointed out that so called "ux-improvements" were actually ux problems back in gnome 2.

UX-ers here (hopefully there must be a few ones from Google and Mozilla here): please help stop this long trend of dumbification. I'm not asking you to make it like bash and vim just to stop hiding menus, removing settings etc etc.

Complain about how hard it is to get to the details of a bad cert if you want, but this instance does not exemplify the trend you're referring to.

This is one of only HTTPS errors that you aren't required to click through to uncover the details of the error—the connection is being shut down.
