@hexaheximal @kkarhan @esm I also forgot about the most obvious thing...

Back in the 90s, Bill Gates infamously decided to kill Netscape. He did it because he knew that web apps would make the operating system irrelevant.

While his solution was wrong, he correctly predicted that web apps were going to take over.

Look at all of the desktop apps which are just Electron wrappers now too. It's very common. (and before you say that electron is bad and discard it, which is likely, https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear/blob/master/docs/electron.md)

> Any #E2EE #Messenger with #SelfCustody of all Keys should be considered security-sensitive and thus should not he used as a #WebApp.

This is irrelevant too. Browsers have really good sandboxing nowadays, and on chromium you can even create multiple profiles within the UI. The reality is that, as long as the client-side code can be trusted (reminder that you can self-host element and/or cinny if you don't trust it - I've done that before) as well as the browser itself, it's about the same in terms of security.

You are fighting against reality.
