Bug Description
Binary package hint: pessulus
Lockdown Editor has a feature for Epiphany which will disable "unsafe" protocols. These protocols are not necessarily "unsafe" as they are user editable, so even HTTPS which is deemed to be "safe" can be marked as an "unsafe" protocol. To correctly state what this program allows the user to do, it should be labeled as "disabled protocols".
The protocols in this list do not need to be valid (screenshot attached), and pessulus will still accept them. Instead there should be a better solution (pull down list, a series of check boxes) from which from which the user can pick protocols, or otherwise offer verification/
As well, if the user would only like (for example) HTTP to be the only allowed protocol, the user would have to go through all other possible protocols and mark them as disabled or "unsafe". This could be simplified by making the list a whitelist (allow only these protocols) or a blacklist (do not allow only these protocols) at the user's choice.
