Re:Firefox add-on to add OTR encryption to web-based chats by mike-cardwell on Wednesday June 29, 2011 @06:00AM (#2708923)
Related to this. Some of you may remember "Kik" being launched last year. There were quite a few discussions about it here. Anyway, I set up an OTR feature request on their GetSatisfaction page a while ago. If you're using Kik and want OTR support, vote it up:

I also set up one calling for SSL at the same time:

That ones been implemented now though. Kik 5.0 came out a little over a month ago and had SSL support, but didn't do certificate verification. Kik 5.1 came out a few days ago and now finally has working certificate verification.
