I don't mean to be negative about Signal. I appreciate the work they have put into it and understand that the platform is maturing - as you said, they can't please everyone. The chrome app vs tab is definitely a minor issue related to user preference. It's not a deal breaker for me personally but others in my network (who are less concerned about privacy) will not switch if it's not easy. Not being able to sign out is a possible deal breaker and seems like basic functionality that has security implications. Thanks for the information about the phone numbers - I understand that they aren't a "contact" in the sense that we added each other. I do think the issue of having control over who can see my phone number is a valid one though. How would I block someone I no longer want to have contact with without changing my phone number? Again, this seems like basic functionality for a platform that is concerned about security and privacy. Here are screenshots from the desktop app showing the only options I can see: http://imgur.com/5nK07ER http://imgur.com/5nK07ER - the default screen (includes the contact that I mentioned in my first post as someone I can message right now.) http://imgur.com/mmEyQWH http://imgur.com/mmEyQWH - the settings UI
