I agree, but I have to disagree. I'd gladly use a more secure email service, but the problem is: 99% of everyone I know uses gmail or Google Apps. It doesn't matter if I encrypt my email if everyone I communicate with is vulnerable. The trick is getting the layman to accept something simple like a browser extension. If even 20% of the people I communicate with would consider using the extension I would be very happy.
- bifrost 13y agoThe trick is to reduce the threat surface, not to do whats right all the time, removing gmail from your side makes your threat surface lower. Browser extensions don't provide security, and its unlikely that chrome would be immune to google-wide spying programs.
- rheide 13y agoThat's a good point actually. Chrome would be just as vulnerable as gmail..
