I wonder if you could use that new fangled css that changes the tab color to red, then the red unlocked icon looks like part of the error page styling.



Or just use lets encrypt to get a certificate for accountsgoogle.com ?

That ensures basically no one will notice a difference.


That's a good idea. We'd need to apply it to all http:// pages too for it to work though.
