This is a keyboard app for people who frequently hit the wrong buttons on small displays and are frustrated by constantly deleting and retyping — without wanting to rely on autocorrection.The buttons are almost double the standard width, making it much easier to hit the right one. The tradeoff: each button shows two characters. To enter the character on the right, tap the button twice...

Thunderbird supports OpenPGP and S/MIME for email encryption.

For how to set it up, see here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-help-setup-...

Your statement needs some clarification.

Yes, Thunderbird supports OpenPGP, with a fully integrated solution.

However, Thunderbird doesn't use gpg by default, because of license incompatibility Thunderbird cannot bundle GnuPG software.

That's why Thunderbird uses the RNP library as its default OpenPGP backend.

You may optionally configure externally installed GnuPG for secret key operations, as described at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards

Re:Thunderbird 102 on Wednesday June 29, 2022 @06:20AM (#31918315)

Yes, you can use smartcards with S/MIME.

You, you can use smartcards with OpenPGP, if you configure Thunderbird for optional GnuPG support. This way Thunderbird can use your secret key that is managed by GnuPG, for secret key operations, including keys on smartcards.

How to do that is documented here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:OpenPGP:Smartcards

Maybe it was mentioned as one of the technologies we consider, because it took us a while to make the final decision.

Re:Thunderbird 78.x is great but has issues for advanced PGP users on Friday November 27, 2020 @08:34AM (#25228564)

No, Thunderbird 78 doesn't use OpenPGP.js - it uses RNP and Botan for OpenPGP.

Re:Chrome: From NSS to OpenSSL on Thursday April 10, 2014 @01:39PM (#7568219)

Note that NSS contains a classic certificate verification engine, which was originally written in C.

The above statement refers to an external contribution that was added to NSS. It added a second validation engine to NSS, libpkix.

It's true that the libpkix portion is very complicated code, but the above statement doesn't apply to NSS in general.
