They implemented end-to-end crypto in this web client as well. Since it's JS served on each request, it's vulnerable to compromise on the server side. I also don't know how key material is securely provisioned to your browser by scanning the QR code.

That being said, they are in a good position to roll out a Chrome extension or plug-in that can keep the crypto implementation on the browser. That would be a nice solution.

Hi,

Awesome! Really wanted this feature for a long time not having to switch between my phone and keyboard while at work.

I wonder if this is related to them rolling out end-to-end crypto on Android but not yet on iOS.

I don't know if limitations are for crypto or something else relate to apple API.

"Unfortunately for now, we will not be able to provide web client to our iOS users due to Apple platform limitations."

Anyone has info on what are the blockers for allowing it to run on other browsers?

What are the iOS restrictions that don't allow for this?

They thought said they'd never do this :)

Can anyone share screenshots?
