Hi,
Trying to move group chat from telegram to a more private option, but the key feature is its web interface which is so convenient…
I’ve checked SimpleX, Session, Briar & Element-Matrix, but the first 3 do not have a web version and the latest only has a free version for self-hosting and I haven’t looked into self-hosting yet.
I’d completely understand if what I’m looking for doesn’t exist for free, but if anyone has a suggestion here, I’m interested!
Cheers
JavaScript runs on the client. It’s fairly easy to do the encryption there.
But the JS is served to the browser each time the page loads, you can’t be sure it stays the same between loads. Sure, this is the same problem as malicious updates, but still exaggerated - the opportunity to slip in altered code is “every time you open the page” rather than “every update”. Plus much more convenient to do targeting.
That’s why I emphasized the word “server”
