User reviews

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 ?

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?
