About

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users’ devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance. Briar uses the Tor network to prevent eavesdroppers from learning which users are talking to each other. Each user’s contact list is encrypted and stored on her own device. All communication between devices is encrypted end-to-end, protecting the content from eavesdropping or tampering.

About

Tails is a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship. Tails uses the Tor network to protect your privacy online and help you avoid censorship. Enjoy the Internet like it should be. Shut down the computer and start on your Tails USB stick instead of starting on Windows, macOS, or Linux. Tails leaves no trace on the computer when shut down. Tails includes a selection of applications to work on sensitive documents and communicate securely. Everything in Tails is ready-to-use and has safe defaults. You can download Tails for free and independent security researchers can verify our work. Tails is based on Debian GNU/Linux. Activists use Tails to hide their identities, avoid censorship, and communicate securely. Journalists and their sources use Tails to publish sensitive information and access the Internet from unsafe places. Domestic violence survivors use Tails to escape surveillance at home.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Encryption policy and offgrid compatibility are the things I like most. Although this one isn't that much popular I think it is better than signal or any other high ranked applications.

Cons

  • I didn't get any such things that should be considered as cons. But this application should be more user friendly and UI should be more attractive and easy. Calling support should be added.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The levels gone through to promote privacy and anonymity: 1. Anonymous Browsing: Tails routes internet connections using the Tor network, ensuring anonymous web browsing. 2. Leave-No-Trace: It runs from a USB stick, leaving no trace on the host system after shutdown. 3. Secure Communication: Provides secure communication tools like OpenPGP and Claws Mail. 🛡️🔒

Cons

  • It's a pain to get a working copy - needs to be copied from another flash drive for optimal security.
