OTR allows you to have private conversations over IM by providing:

  • Encryption
  • No one else can read your instant messages.
  • Authentication
  • You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
  • Deniability
  • The messages you send do not have digital signatures that are checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a conversation to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages they see are authentic and unmodified.
  • Perfect forward secrecy
  • If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is compromised.

This is a Pidgin plugin which implements Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging.

Epiphany is a simple yet powerful GNOME web browser targeted at non-technical users. Its principles are simplicity and standards compliance.

Simplicity is achieved by a well designed user interface and reliance on external applications for performing external tasks (such as reading email). Simplicity does not mean less features; Epiphany has everything a modern web browser is expected to have.

Standards compliance is achieved on the HTML side by using the WebKitGTK+ rendering engine (which is based on the engine used by Apple Safari and Google Chrome); and on the user interface side by closely following the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) and by close integration with the GNOME desktop.
