Anyone using Cryptocat, Privytalks, etc.

I would like to hold some talks with my friend in a private way, thus maybe a secure IM is the solution.
Anybody has some kinda long-term experience on this tools?
I would use a web-based IM rather than Pidgin or other clients to be installed.
No need of mobile app.

I gave a try to Privytalks, but I am not able to send any message. I think my settings prevent some plug-in to run.
About Cryptocat I've read some really bad things (in the past, though).

I am already aware of this list:

at the end I would like to learn from your daily experience, if any.

 

Hi dogbite,

You can read more up-to-date information about Cryptocat in the thread The Ultra-Simple App That Lets Anyone Encrypt Anything linked article in privacy technology. It has come a long way since the bad reports you have read.

Thanks, I am gonna give it a try.

 

So far so good. Also test on Ios app went well.

 

I'm ressurecting this thread!

There's a new app called SubRosa (link here). The founder/coder also had a little thread going in reddit/r/privacy.
