      Hi,

      I use Signal service: https://signal.org/fr/ I like it. It’s similar to Whatsapp & Telegram with less tracker, as you can see:

      • Trackers on Signal: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/fr/reports/org.thoughtcrime.securesms/latest/
      • Trackers on Telegram: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/fr/reports/org.telegram.messenger/latest/
      • Trackers on Whatsapp: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/fr/reports/com.whatsapp/latest/

      Documentation: https://signal.org/docs/ | File repositories: https://github.com/signalapp.

      Could you consider to add it in sidebar of Opera GX, please?

      Regards.

        great proposal, mindblowing that such niche messengers with no utility are integrated and signal is not.

          Yeah, that would be amazing. Signal is regarded as the most secure and private messenger in the world and instead Telegram is an add-on 🙂 +1 on this

            Yes! We definitely need Signal integration. For me personally, it's the messaging app I use the most. I'm trying to avoid Facebook as much as possible, and Signal is pretty much the only non-Facebook-owned messaging app that's secure as well.

              Enable chrome://flags/#sidebar-site-panel and add it.

                @leocg From what i can tell you cant just add it using the site URL as its either a desktop App or a phone App, we are asking for an intergrated applet built into GX

                  @screwed38 If there isn't a web version, it can't be integrated.

                    Would love to have Signal on Opera's sidebar so I can ditch WhatsApp for good.

                      @s3nd41 Same but it looks like we need to raise this with signal, if they can make a web version that still holds to its security then Opera should be able to integrate it.

                        @screwed38 makes sense... I'll try to submit this feedback to them through whatever channels they have.

                                  I think not, but ask them. 😉

                                          I´m using Opera for the first time in the last week. I´m loving it... The sidebar is really good...
                                          But, as the othes members of this forum, Signal Private Messenger in the side bar would be awesome...

                                          Please do it!
