Why tie it to a phone at all? Why not have this Chrome app work standalone? Apple&#x27;s messaging app uses end-to-end encryption <i>and</i> it can be routed to multiple devices. I would expect Signal to strive to attain parity with Apple&#x27;s offerings.<p>Also, the naming of this app is pretty disingenuous. This app should be called &quot;Signal Remote&quot;, since it&#x27;s not running the actual Signal comms on my desktop, it&#x27;s remotely controlling Signal on my phone.
