#62It works quite nicely, and I like it. I would like to see some kind of keybase integration, though it's not hard to import my tracked users into the extension by exporting my gpg keyring and importing it again.
edit: It seems that the keybase website does not like messages created by this extension. https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/issues/752

Does this also mean parts of memory containing, say, passwords could be send to Google?
This "end to end" encryption happens in the browser. Google is the browser. Google dont need your keys, they have the plain text.

#65 We hold ourselves to a higher standard; we started from scratch
and created a testable, modern, cryptographic library.
That is awesome. So's this: Chrome’s design means that extensions should be safe against
other extensions.
And this: End-To-End uses Content Security Policy as well as inherently
safe APIs in frameworks (strict Closure Templates). End-To-End
doesn’t trust any website's DOM or context with unencrypted data.Re: End-To-End – OpenPGP Chrome extension from Google
#66Just tried this out and it works great! Had to build it using the instructions on the wiki, but nothing too painful. It doesn't just integrate with gmail, but more with all textarea's around the web. When you are typing in a textarea and press the extension icon next to the hamburger menu it will pop open a menu containing the text that you were typing on the site, and are given the options to encrypt/sign a message.…
In your testing, do you see any evidence that this extension prevents Gmail's automatic draft saving?

Why would attachments be considered part of the body? Encrypt them before uploading them, and send the decrypting key in the body.

> Why would attachments be considered part of the body? Because if you look at the low-level structure of email, "attachments" are just parts of a body that is in multipart/mixed MIME type.
Answering the GP, that varies from one implementation to another. Most clients encrypt attachments, but it looks like this one extension only encrypts the textarea contents.

But as I'm typing, Gmail is saving my draft automatically to Google servers. Normally, at least. This means Google would have a copy of my email as it existed before I encrypted it. In your testing, do you see any evidence that this extension prevents Gmail's automatic draft saving?
I'm curious about this too. Does that mean they somehow insert a textbox that the host page can't see? I didn't realize extensions could do that.
Edit: ah, this appears to be where it happens. They insert an iframe the extension owns, so the host page won't be able to see what's in it:
