Consider dropping HSTS preloading #1102

Closed

Description

@florimondmanca

Prompted by #1025 (comment)

Issues like #1025 should prompt us to reconsider whether using HSTS preloading from a server-side client (introduced via #151) is a sensible thing to do at all.

Key points of reasoning here:

Some options are:

  • Add a toggle so that HSTS preload becomes opt-in or opt-out.
  • Drop HSTS functionality entirely.

Given all the context points above, we might want to just go with option 2).

    My vote is for Add a toggle so that HSTS preload becomes opt-in, though for 1.0 it might be better to reduce the surface area and drop it entirely.
