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.

Will only ever happen once Signal ditches their dependency on mobile phone number.

I don't see how the two are related? They've already got a Desktop client.

The Desktop Client is only functional when you "pair" it to your phone client.
