Any e2ee app for group chat with a web interface? (lemmy.world)

Hi,

Trying to move group chat from telegram to a more private option, but the key feature is its web interface which is so convenient...

I've checked SimpleX, Session, Briar & Element-Matrix, but the first 3 do not have a web version and the latest only has a free version for self-hosting and I haven't looked into self-hosting yet.

I'd completely understand if what I'm looking for doesn't exist for free, but if anyone has a suggestion here, I'm interested!

Cheers

Just because those two got mentioned: Element/Matrix and Jitsi are not E2EE out of the box. You need to set it up.

Element is default E2EE for 1-to-1 direct messaging. Rooms require setting up encryption.

But even for those you have to set up your security phrase.

ik matrix is e2ee in private messaging only but i think its setup automatically

Thank you for mentioning it, I've set up encryption end currently testing matrix with element as client, we'll see how it works out
