Well, there is NIP-07 (browser extension) which is somewhat better than just blindly trusting the client, but it just moves the trust to the extension jnstead of a client.

There is also nsecbunker, which I am not entirely sure how it works yet.

If there was a hw key too, that would certainly be also very cool, tho I am not aware there is such a thing yet

Not sure if it just holds the nsec securely or if it can protect from third parties cryptographically when entering in new clients.

Not sure yet, but it's just a microcontroller (esp32), which is somehow supposed to work with a browser extension implementing the nip-07 I mentioned above.

You still have to use a browser extension. What I'll have to figure out is how exactly is communication between the browser extension and the device is supposed to work.

What I believe could be the case would be, that it would basically implement the nip07 itself and use the extension just to pass the data along to the client.
