I actually like Signal, and would use it a lot more, but don't because of one feature - link previews. I understand the technical reasoning why are they so slow to adopt it, but I (and a group of people I communicate on a daily basis) would probably accept even a half-baked solution like the one on WhatsApp.

It's already there, but there are only a few websites supported:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/0ef01cc620c...

If you opened a PR with the websites you're missing, I'm sure they'd be open to it.

I see sibling comments mentioning that they wouldn't want this feature (which is already there) because of its privacy implications, but I think that it basically works like gifs, with a proxy controlled by Signal.
