Before somewhere around Chrome 55, I could look at the details of a certificate a website is using by clicking on the Green lock icon:
Now that functionality seems to be gone; see picture below:
How can I bring this back? I know I can go into Developer Console -> Security but it's a tad impossible:
I want to know that i'm seeing the correct certificate (e.g. issuing authority, SHA-1 fingerprint); and that someone isn't attempting to intercept my communications.

How to do it in Edge
It is possible to view a site's TLS certificate in Microsoft Edge, although it's somewhat tedious:
-
Click the ... option
-
Click Open with Internet Explorer
-
Click the ? in the address bar, and select View Certificates
-
And now you have the details of TLS certificate
Tedious; although one step shorter than viewing it in Chrome (when DevTools are available).

As of Chrome 60 it is possible to return certificate details under "lock" menu. This option has to be enabled manually by accessing chrome://flags/#show-cert-link.
When you enable it and restart the Chrome, option to view certificate will be visible when you click on lock icon.
