Sequoia: Super Powering End-to-End Email Encryption in Mozilla Thunderbird

Show all headers | View raw

So Thunderbird 78 is released with OpenPGP built-in, and the Enigmail 
extension no longer required.

Then there was the recent Mailfence announcement.

<https://blog.thunderbird.net/2021/03/mailfence-encrypted-email-suite-in-thunderbird/> 
in case you missed it.

Now there is an alternate OpenPGP backend available.

> We are thrilled to release the first version of the Octopus, an 
> alternate OpenPGP backend for Thunderbird built on top of Sequoia 
> <https://sequoia-pgp.org>.
>
> The Octopus is a drop-in replacement for RNP, the OpenPGP library 
> shipped with Thunderbird 78.

I just think this complicates the feature.

Not a user, so putting the information out there so others can provide 
support.
