Desktop client ties in with google chrome. The last place I would consider anything private on my computer.

Mobile app ties in with my cell phone. ... again meta data I would rather no one know, or be forced to associated with whatever I communicated on whisper..kinda defeats the purpose.

Major and inexplicable issues I would love to see discussed.

The desktop app also works with chromium. But then, you need to have the mobile app installed to use the desktop app...

Look, I don't think that Signal is that great against targeted attacks. The fact that you have to install it on a not too trustworthy platform (android/iOS), that you need to register with a phone number and that it broadcasts the fact that you use Signal to everyone who knows your phone number all make it a bit hard to recommend when you need very strong security.

But then, Signal seems to be targeted at the 'average user' and it features top notch cryptography. It does that in order to thwart mass surveillance. I think this is an admirable goal and that Signal achieves it. If you think you might be targeted by a three letter agency, use something different for your sensitive communications.
