"abc is using Signal." Can't I disable that? I just wanna see real messages. On my smartphone signal brothers me with messages like. I already made my experience with the 'security hardliners'. However at the moment I just gonna move away from signal. When I run the Chrome Task monitor I see that telegram just get's along with half of what signal needs. But it could be much more less if it would run in the browser and share the web and javascript engine with the browser instead running its own. So I start to keep an eye on how much RAM an app uses. If RAM is full I get error messages and I need to close apps. So my PC just uses the RAM that is there - no virtual pagefile RAM hard disk trickery. To make it last longer by reducing the write operations I disabled the pagefile / swap. In addition to that my issue with the a separated desktop app is that is 'wastes' much system resources. User of the desktop app may choose to bail out web client users because they may 'ruin' the security. and the fearless rest (like me) are happy to have a webclient. User that are very concerned about security use the desktop app. This refusal of a web client was done in the name of security.īut why don't you developers let the user decide how much security he wants? It's user interface is already just web stuff ( java script ) the actual desktop client could easily turned into one. Well there was one (kinda) but it was deleted / shutdown by the developers. Signal to be the most secure messenger in the world. That's exactly why I'm using protonmail, twitter, spotify and many others as PWAs. Personally that's a risk I'm definitely willing to put up with, but I guess the issue is people will default to the web app which does not offer the best protection by default.Īlso want to add to the discussion: One of the great benefits of the web is how sandboxed it is, so for an individual it's a lot more secure that the app is running in the browser, than having full access to the computer. If this is completely wrong and I'm just talking garbish, I'm sorry, I'm in no way an expert or have any sort of knowledge in this field. Proton apps (protonmail etc.) also have this problem and apparently it's one of their "great drawbacks" according to some. I can't quite remember what or where I saw the "answer", but apparently there is some problems with verifying the client code on hosted webapps, which is why the electron apps run with local files and the executable can be verified? man in the middle attacks etc. I commented on this issue a while back, with pretty much the exact same question as but deleted my comment as I felt it was a dumb question after reading about it (It really wasn't! and I should have kept my comment) □ Very happy to see this topic getting some attention.
