Encrypted "WebMail" Hardly Secure, Consider Standalone and Unix [re: OpenPGP.js Features]
Not your code provisioning, not your keys, not your privacy. All these online web crypto email services... you're trusting an untrustable third party web services, which exist and grovel to survive under license incorporation taxation permission and at leisure of untrustable government, to deliver unsigned unaudited crypto libs on the fly over the web into your browser for execution... that's fatal, and gets routinely exploited by authorities, snoops, courts, companies, crackers, admins, etc. If too incompetent and dumbed down from living a life of WinMac garbage to learn and use something like gnupg locally to safely cut and paste, at least consider using something like Mozilla Thunderbird as a mail client which includes gpg as a standalone local email crypto tool. WinMac is an online security spyveillance profiling phonehome datawhoring exploit nightmare and it just keeps getting worse. People really should start learning and using a unix... They're well documented, run great on common hardware, run web, office, mail, comms, emulators, games, cryptos, database, GUI, etc... and are free so you can donate to support development. https://www.freebsd.org/ https://www.openbsd.org/ https://archlinux.org/ https://linuxfromscratch.org/ https://www.kernel.org/ https://www.debian.org/

That's one of those ever spawning and dying wannabe secure Android OS lineants. And those only begin to get safer when they strip the google suite out of the stock Android. Ok yes use them if you need to run Android-only apps, but Android and its apps are generally as abysmal for privacy and security as WinMac. And a lot of its apps won't run without g-suite social-suite sdk libs or unlocked permissions. Yet if it's a phone / phablet / web-only form factor you want, Linux and even nearly BSD kernels will run on some of the ARM64 models now, and you can run Android emulator on amd64. Android perhaps a bit moot re the subject, since where are any particularly useful/featured email+gpg clients for it... the small form factor exacts a mandatory toll there. Which is an opportunity for any coders who can utilize it...
