User friendly, lightweight, for desktop and Android. End-to-end encrypted and takes place over Tor v3 onion services. Privacy-preserving, multi-party messaging protocol. Built to be metadata resistant.
Based on Ricochet with an improved user interface to make onboarding easy and achieve mass adoption.
Forum: Interesting discussion between the Speek! and Ricochet Refresh developer.
Briar doesn't rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Online sync via the Tor network is possible, too. Protecting users from surveillance.
Based on Ricochet but improved security and compatibility with Tor Onion Services v3 instead of older v2.
Wide range of features but a highly experimental protocol, use with caution.
