From a privacy point of view, I would be more comfortable with google reading my messages than one of my buddies. Is your xmpp e2e?

Any idea if this means they will also get rid of: "more tools" > "create shortcut" > "open as window" I use this exclusively and chromium is the only browser left that supports it.

I would like for it to be illegal for apps to ask for address-book permission and similar. Your name, phone number, address, email and other details, perfectly packaged together, should not be free for any random contact to give out. The so
