 Another option instead of showing colors to convey the security level one
 can show a number badge from 1 to 3 (more security => bigger number,
 Standard => 1, Safe => 2, ...etc). `setBadgeTest` can also show a text but
 one would need to see if it will fit in that space

 ons/WebExtensions/API/browserAction/setBadgeText

 (Also a note on the `about:preferences` changes: I think they're
 unnecessary since the functionality would already be offered by the
 security button, so there's no need for duplicate effort)
