I’ll go for option 1:
1) more consistent with other browser
2) cannot be misunderstood for a “loading bar”
3) better looking
For the people asking for the “locker” SLL information: it’s already there in rekonq, but in the right side of the bar: maybe on the left (just after the favicon) could be a better option, so that you have on the left “security” information and on the right “presonal” information.
Option 2 or option 1 with https on green background (à la Firefox), cause I think it must be really visible for neophytes, and the nice green that’s already on the url bar is not aggressive.
Don’t know if you still care, but I prefer option 1 – I think it’s less distracting, especially since HTTPS is pretty widespread; I feel if the background were a solid color I’d wonder why – is the website still transferring? Why is it green now (instead of the usual blue)?

option 1, better looking that a big green bar. It send the message it needs to send to the user in a less obtrusive way
Option 2.

Opetion 2. The green background can be brighter and less blue.
ps. I wish I can remove the red close button on each tab since I can close tabs by middle click.
