I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    I think the people behind Session cares for their mission, and it might align with OP’s, so maybe. Although I personally am not too fond of about all their choices.

    The omission of Forward Secrecy for instance doesn’t sit well with me. Each to their own though, and they do go into their reasoning on their blog: https://getsession.org/session-protocol-explained

    Likewise their last audit from 2021, lists quite a handful of critical/moderate issues in their apps, hopefully they’ve fixet it. Afterall it’s been a while since 2021. https://getsession.org/faq#security-audit
