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.

My opinion is the opposite, because Electron is quite heavy (which is an issue for Signal Desktop at least), and because you can't use browser containers to use multiple accounts.

Workaround for Signal for 2 accounts: you can use the beta version, which uses a different data folder, to use two different accounts.

Obviously that'd be better to have a configurable data folder.
