Ironic that the "https in browsers" figure uses a screenshot with a certificate MITM'd by the antivirus software. If you see "Secure" in the green bar instead of the domain name and EV attributes - your antivirus software is MITM'ing you.

Not true, it means that the certificate is not EV.

I see 'Secure' on my Chromium running under Debian, without any antivirus software.
