> Users with a consumer Google Account (such as Gmail users) can't access client-side encrypted content, send encrypted email, or participate in client-side encrypted meetings.
> To view or edit client-side encrypted content, users must use either the Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser.
Thought this was an April Fools joke - please tell me it is! That UI looks exactly like a phishing email. And then to make users login once they click it? Exactly like a phishing email.
> When the recipient is a Gmail user (enterprise or personal), Gmail sends an E2EE email. The email is automatically decrypted in the recipient's inbox, and the recipient can use Gmail in a familiar way.
Is that an April fools joke? Proper encryption suites don't produce something that looks like a Caesar cipher, it's just a solid block of seemingly random data. You can't really index something like the words inside an email unless you first decrypt it.
I mean, this is almost the same as the external Office 365 screens for encrypted mail just with Google’s design language, so maybe it doesn’t happen as often in practice?
