Ugh, this keeps on coming up. Wire [1] already has both end-to-end encryption and cross device sync. It's not the only one to do that either. It's not a trade

It's not a tradeoff.

- trisimix 9y agoIt also has a better user experience. And encryption enabled by default.
- melkhior 9y ago+1 for Wire from me, have been using it for about a year and a half now. I only wish it had a better desktop client, the current one is a little laggy especially when scrolling up chat history.
- petre 9y agoI use the web client and it works fibe. I suspect the desktop clients are Electron based.
- Mithaldu 9y agoThe last time i tried Wire its UX was about as stable as what a 12 year old would cobble together with old ducktape and string. Constantly exhibiting glitches and bugs and lacking even the most basic UI amenities as well as being a heavyweight browser app. Does Wire have a light-weight and solid desktop client yet?
- krageon 9y agoWire drains the battery of your phone so hard it's unusable in practice. There has been a bug report about this open since May 2017, with a note that "we're working on it". It hasn't been solved so far.
