cir yxam (ID: 000000e7d3de5b77) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/10/2021 extension look is very sophisticated, extension look is very polish & it is appearing to be professionally made, user interface is & look fantastic encryption & signatures & sign+encrypt combination results are compatible with other software or to say differently; so far all are 100% verifiable & comparable in both ways from it to others & from others to it - VERY NICE result additionally, extension appear to be ABANDONED for past several years, no active development present - to be honest despite its ver 0.0.0.... I could not find any issues that may warrant of development activity in it - all look & is working perfectly well !!! Q; how secure or how BUGS free is this extension ? ================================================= I could not find any INFO on internet that relate to this extension, any good or bad info extension user base is extremely small basically nobody is using it when extension is free from on-purpose implemented vulnerabilities, it shall be regarded as EXCEPTIONALLY WELL MADE !!! any help independent & professional to evaluate security of its implementation ?

Steven Rider (ID: 0000005002f5d38a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/07/2018 This is exactly the extension I was looking for. Several other extensions dance around the simplicity that this one has. I still use Mailvelope for most of my messaging, but this is a nice application for quick tasks. For a minimalist who understands PGP, this gets it done with a light application. Thanks for making this. I was nervous I would have to build something like this myself! 😜 Only suggestion, can I edit (remove) the shout-out text in the first couple lines of messages?
