Work nicely But you can make button on every form-input instead of clicking on browser extension
by CYUSA Alain Tresor, 2020-07-08

This has worked quite well in helping me secure communications with most of my less tech savvy family and friends. That alone is praise worthy. The methods to use this tool has, & continues to evolve. But other than having to download software for sending and receiving (once) the methodology for both ends of the messaging has actually been simplified over the course of the last several years. Again, Good Work!

Works well. Personally I think it should display an encrypt/decrypt button in Gmail - rather than depend on the extension button in Chrome. I'd also like the ability to remember passwords for specific senders/recipients.
