Nostr Web Client

as far as I know, 'leaks' IMEI and bluetooth addresses, no ios support, no Post-quantum encryption, no multiple accounts/profiles, no audio/video share(only images), no calls and you can't use it on multiple devices (in addition to mobile device).

I only use briar over bluetooth .

want something else (p2p): TOX or CWTCH

The bluetooth leak is necessary for bluetooth comms, I'm not aware of the IMEI leak but sounds concerning. Do you have a link?

CWTCH looks good too (no IOS app either but who cares LOL)

Not touching TOX with a 10 foot clown pole.

I'm sorry, the "IMEI leak" is not correct

that's what happens when I trust random people online and don't check what they say :/

I will edit my post

I know that the sharing of BT addresses are needed, but briar still shares them with online(over tor) contacs!

I tested CWTCH 2 months ago, it kinda sucked

The UI was very bad and alot of connection issues.

Briar is peer to peer via Tor. This has pros and cons.

Pro:

-Everything stays on your local device

-Uses Tor Onions to avoid government domains

-It can do bluetooth to bluetooth, for like an in-person protest for example

Con:

-UI sucks

-Other person has to be online

-You can use mailbox drops to host a server, but then it’s really just like XMPP over Tor

-Group chat user interface is horrible and confusing
