Hello,
For some time now, when I enter certain online shopping sites in my search bar, an "i" in a circle appears, and I no longer see the little green padlock.
Whereas before, the little padlock appeared for these specific sites.
What is the reason for this?
Thank you for informing me, as I am worried; I order quite a lot online.

Good evening,
The small i indicates that the connection is not private; it is visible to everyone on the relevant pages.
But as soon as you switch to private for exchanges with the seller or to make a payment, the site becomes secure in HTTPS...
There are also sites with both the small i and the padlock, which means that the site is encrypted... or verified by someone (not necessarily secure).
