Safe communication with Tox
|
Conclusion
Communicating encrypted live via chat, phone, or video is no problem for Tox users. Although some of the applications still need a bit of development work, they basically work reliably.
Among them, the command-line Toxic surprises with its high utility value and simple operation. Chatting with the graphical clients tend to make your fingers jump between mouse and keyboard – something you can spare yourself with Toxic once you've familiarized yourself with the commands and keyboard shortcuts. Toxic seems the most mature of all the apps tested here and doesn't have a beta feel about it.
