With this flag enabled, BearSSL is compiled with only these 4 ciphers:
Setting this build flag saves around 45.5KB in build size, which is very significant on low memory boards. I think it would be nice to enable this by default on the 512KB/1MB boards.
I did some quick checks and most (if not all) SSL server support these ciphers. To check a site, try:
nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 google.com
