Chromebook support

[theRealBitcoinClub]

Will you add a Chrome plugin at any time in the future? Would you appreciate someone coding that for you?

It would be useful to all the Chromebook users

I've filed this as a feature request.

Please don't start coding anything until we've discussed a little bit more—we don't want to waste your time!

Most Chromebooks can run Crostini which allows you to install Signal Desktop via the Debian repo already.

A Chrome plugin would most likely have privacy drawbacks, probably not ideal for a platform like Signal.

The Signal desktop is actually an Electron app, which is basically a Chrome browser and Node.js. Installing another browser on your Chromebook just to run a web app makes no sense!!!

And with the advancements in PWA's is makes no sense anywhere! At least with a PWA I can choose my browser - with Electron I'm forced to use Chrome.

I would prefer Signal desktop were re-written as a PWA.
