- aspett 10y agoThis is what I instantly thought of too. Will be keeping a close eye on this!
- oh_sigh 10y agoSure, but the hard part for adoption isn't using the tools, but teaching people how to keep their private keys safe/secure
- arjie 10y agoI don't know man. Right now the hard part is using the tools. It's a pain in the ass. The last I tried FireGPG was the best and it wasn't terribly smooth flow either (no fault of it's own).
- ISL 10y agoAgreed. I knew how PGP worked, but still accidentally sent around my private instead of public key by mistake the first day I set things up. Information 'wants' to be free; it takes real effort to keep it contained.

- fdsfsafasfdas 10y agoIf only it worked on mobile.
- libertymcateer 10y agoVery good point.
- SquareWheel 10y agoI wonder if Google's End to End library will be available as a Gmail addon. It sounds like the perfect platform. https://github.com/google/end-to-end https://github.com/google/end-to-end
- tyingq 10y agoI have my doubts. This sounds like the replacement for "Gmail Contextual Gadgets", which currently only works on desktop gmail. They limit how much of the email body you can pull via the API (first 1000 characters only), and don't allow access to the attachments at all. https://developers.google.com/gmail/contextual_gadgets#using_pre-canned_extractors https://developers.google.com/gmail/contextual_gadgets#using... If the same reasons they did this (whatever it is/was) for contextual gadgets still apply, it wouldn't be useful for encryption.
