Actual results:

Currently, we use serialization to show EV data when loading websites.
This will no longer be required once we get rid of EV indicators from the url bar.

Expected results:

Instead, EV cert data should be lazily fetched using WindowGlobal.getSecurityInfo().

Thanks for filing this! Note that this might require changes to mobile as well, since they're using the serialized securityInfo but similarly could fetch the data lazily because they are not using it in primary UI.

It might also make sense to make this change for desktop and then file a follow-up bug for removing the mobile parts.
