    I use mailvelope for browser based email clients with PGP and it works great. The openPGP JS backend is a little limited, but the GnuPG connector is excellent, as you can have a unified key manager on you machine. PGP(GPG) itself is not easy for a beginner, so it is unfair to blame mailvelope for PGP's shortcomings.

    I wanted to send a news tip to the New York Times. The site said "so easy anyone can join in". I am barely computer literate and when instructed to click here to sync up I had no idea the consequences if I adjusted the settings. The NY Times should also know that Mailvelope would probably not tell me how to cut and paste an email I received from my Senator and whether I could legally share it. So no, it's not so easy for anyone to join in. I don't even know if that was your slogan or theirs.

How these figures are measured

Change in installs, as observed between the two crawls named in "measured over", not scaled to the window: this store refreshes its install counts only occasionally, so one refresh lands in every window at once and these figures usually read 0 in between - the weekly change in ratings under Rating above is the better signal here. A window needs a full period of history before it reports anything.
