[OTR-dev] Browser extensions for OTR

[Chris Ballinger]

I noticed that a lot of people these days don't use dedicated chat clients
anymore and tend to use in-browser chat interfaces on platforms like Gmail
or Facebook. It's difficult to get people to change their behavior,
especially to get people to decide to run some 3rd party desktop software
with which they might not be comfortable. Also, a lot of people seem to use
Gmail chat from places where they aren't allowed to install 3rd party
software.

Would it be possible/feasible to write browser extensions (Chrome, Safari,
FF) that use Emscripten (LLVM to JS compiler) to compile libotr, and then
hook into the DOM for Gmail or Facebook (or possibly any two user-defined
text fields?) for "seamless" in-browser OTR?
