Description

Description

Improve security awareness for flags by indicating security levels in the flag information.

Who's implementing?

  • I'm willing to implement this feature myself

The problem

A lay user may have no idea which flag adds security or removes it.

Possible solutions

Solution 1:

  1. Review the available flags and their respective security implications.
  2. Select a set of flags that provide a high level of security by default.
  3. Create the text in the wiki, providing clear explanations of the effects of each flag to help users make informed decisions.

Solution 2:

  1. Enhance the table on https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/blob/master/docs/flags.md by indicating the level of security provided by each flag.
