This makes no sense in so many ways. I suggest you read more on exactly how Signal relies on Google. It does not at all compromise the encryption protocol. Also Tox? Good luck with that.

I am currently trying out tox with a small number of friends (ok, one friend). I am curious as to what your criticism of tox is. While it seems it's still a bit new, it seems it does all that it claims to do.

It is completely unusable on mobiles because it drains bandwidth and battery.

I use it all the time on desktop. Couldn't even get the mobile app to start.
