Yeah, I worry more about the device running Signal.
Is it up to date?

Any other apps with flaws?
And then any time the browser is used there's risk, especially since mobile devices are worse about supporting ad blocking - that's one reason I like Algo - block malicious stuff at the DNS level rather than worry your combination of privacy extensions is giving you security but also making you more fingerprintable (reducing privacy).
BUT I like Signal as a way to reduce ambiguity. (Eg: If I text you on Signal, it's unlikely someone snarfed that out of the air, and over time I can see where information is leaking, same goes for a voice chat)
Then it's down to trust, which is sadly an unsolved problem. (At least for this poster)
