Germany's cyber-security agency is working on a set of minimum rules that modern web browsers must comply with in order to be considered secure.

A first version of this guideline was published in 2017, but a new standard is being put together to account for improved security measures added to modern browsers, such as HSTS, SRI, CSP 2.0, telemetry handling, and improved certificate handling mechanisms -- all mentioned in a new draft released for public debate last week.

Once this draft goes through a public debate, it is expected that the BSI will release a public document detailing which browsers meet the new criteria, as it did in 2017
But besides rules for what is considered a "secure browser," the BSI guideline also includes a basic "secure" configuration for browsers, that sysadmins can use as a guide for deploying browsers in their organizations.
