They ranked SimpleX Chat as the best for privacy and security!

Eine gute Hand

Ist es Zeit, sich von WhatsApp abzuwenden? Aber wohin? Zu Signal oder lieber zu einem Dienst mit Servern in Europa? Oder wäre vielleicht doch ein Messenger besser, bei dem man Server auch selbst betreiben kann? Wir vergleichen sechs Messenger mit unterschiedlichen Prioritäten und Konzepten, gemeinsam ist ihnen die Ende-zu-Ende-Verschlüsselung.

You can use the built in translation feature in Firefox or Brave if you don't know German... or use any translation software of your choice.

Another drawback I'd add is that there are no ARM builds for Linux!
