Provide API to access security state of page to display secure/insecure address bar icon

[dd8]

Internally Chromium has a security_state::GetSecurityLevel() method that provides a state to display in address bar indicating state of page: secure(https), insecure(http or legacy TLS version), dangerous (active mixed content etc)

Although you could roll your own it's a lot of work and keeping it functionally identical to Chrome/Edge would be ongoing work.

It would be very useful if this was exposed somewhere. A property returning an enum equivalent to SecurityLevel is probably good enough (might need to be an interface if anyone needs a human readable description of why a security level has been chosen).

Thanks for the suggestion, I've added it to our backlog!

Worth noting the SecurityLevel enum occasionally changes, so this might affect API design. Most recent change I could find was 2017:
