> Almost complete end-to-end encryption support

Now that is a shocker! I tried hard to find e2e supporting GUI clients and Element was the only viable option.

I have grown to hate these "obese" webapps. I say that because they don't freaking need 4GB ram to send messages between people! I have Teams and several browsers already fighting to the death, I am forced to open slack to multiple groups in my browser except now those tabs are 3GB+ and if I run Element, same thing! Man I miss IRC.

Sorry for the rant. I am sure Thinderbird with Matrix won't need no more than 2GB /S



Fluffy.chat supports E2EE and is cross-platform: https://gitlab.com/famedly/fluffychat

(Though it might not fit your needs completely, as it's written in Flutter, and Flutter is pretty bloated too...)


https://nheko-reborn.github.io/ supports it too?


XMPP clients like Gajim or Dino don't use a lot of RAM and support modern E2EE (OMEMO).


My problem with omemo is it is too opportunistic. But thanks


What do you mean by opportunistic?
