CSP
The Content-Security-Policy header allows your Drupal site to inform browsers of trusted sources for JavaScript, CSS, and other external resources. This adds a security layer to detect and mitigate the risk of Cross Site Scripting (XSS), data injection, and other vulnerabilities.

Gin Admin Theme
A radically new UI layout paired with goodies like a Darkmode will give your Drupal’s Admin interface a facelift. The Gin theme also includes things which are currently out of scope for Claro and/or some customisations we’re experimenting with for the future. Built on the foundation of Claro from one of the lead designers of Claro & Drupal Design System.
