Review summary

Users find Mailvelope offers an easy and painless PGP experience with good Linux GnuPG support once configured. However, multiple reviews highlight poor documentation and manual setup steps for Linux integration. The extension replaces default webmail editors, which can be inconvenient, and requests broad browser permissions, causing privacy concerns among users.

Cons

Poor or unclear documentation on Linux installation and GnuPG integration.
Requires manual configuration steps on Linux to enable native GnuPG integration.
Replaces the default editor of webmailers, limiting user experience.
Requests extensive browser permissions that raise privacy concerns.
