[OTR-dev] [guardian-dev] Is there security risks on developing OTR addons for web browsers ?

[Frithjof]

If you want to work on secure IM in a browser you might be interested in

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/sponsors/Otter/Attentive

Otter Attentive is an upcomming sponsered project of the Tor project "to
add secure instant-messaging to the Tor browser bundle".

Best,
