How is this better than symmetric encryption with GnuPG?
3 comments

Does it claim to be better? The main advantage I can see is simplicity, even non-technical users should be able to figure it out.
The encrypted result of this tool contains all the code necessary to decrypt itself (in a web browser).

I'm not too familiar with GnuPG, so I don't know if that's different.

I'm reminded of those self-decrypting .exe archives that WinZip used to produce back in the day...
Any browser?
Tested and working with recent Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari 6.1+, IE 10+. https://www.passwordprotectmyfile.com/faq.

It uses, among others, the Blob API so will not work on older browsers.

You can download this safely from windows. GnuPG doesn't have a valid ssl certificate (https://www.gnupg.org).
