They dropped it because people assumed it was secure just because they used signal, and is never secure and you can assume pretty much anyone could be reading your texts wanyway.



That’s worrying. I wasn’t surprised that google did it with chrome, but this is surprising. I was thinking surely people would be looking to fork it and take it in a different direction. Maybe it’s finally time to switch to another browser. With just chromium and Mozilla engines, I wonder what the good options would be.


Yeah this is problematic for open source software. Plenty of better ways to implement a security feature. Seems they will probably end up blocking adblockers eventually with features like this. Why was it approved, surely there is some discussion on the Dev mailing lists?


I’m also pretty sure that message edits and deletions are federated, but as other have said; it completely relies on the recieving server respecting those messages.
