I hope one day apps like Signal will be the default for everyone, not just protesters in a time of crisis.

I would ditch WhatsApp in a heartbeat if Signal had a browser client.

In my opinion Desktop Clients > Browser Clients when it comes to messengers. If you have more than ten tabs open it is annoying to always have to switch tabs or break out a window. Having a desktop application that remembers where you want to save stuff people send you is a plus too.

If you really like having app-like websites, you can do that in Chrome by clicking "Create Shortcut" then click the box that says "Open In Window". Voila. It behaves like a native app, and you can embed it in your Windows taskbar with a favicon and everything.

Electron isn't as safe as Chromium. Last I checked it's based off a vintage build of Chromium with some very important features like the sandbox turned off (!)
