Hmm, yeah true. More people can take a look at the code, find vulnarabilities and fix it. Then it should be open-source too, since it would also be hard to bypass even if that happened. So there's not really an argument to not make it open-source.

I do not have the knowledge, time or money to set up my own servers for those sadly. And it would probably take time for my family to adjust to those.

Tried it about a month ago, it felt barebones so I deleted it but it's quickly updating, might check it again!

Hmm, good points.
Most of these have some kind of (strong or weak) counter-arguments.
I have mixed thoughts about the first point, they kinda have some good points though.2 and 4 got resolved, very critical issues nonetheless, shouldn't have happened. The 3rd point seems kinda OK, I'm sure they would like the idea of making that open-source, but that would probably make it bypassable, correct me if im wrong. I didn't know about the fifth! The reason they gave also seems defenseless.

Not trying to hate or back up Signal here, just my opinions.

Well, it's more privacy-focused, feels like home, and it's not hard to get used to and it's not a data-hungry company like Meta or Google. Also Other platforms i tested didn't really fit right with me.

Well uhhh, kinda late, but the "original" openboard project hasn't got an update in like, 12 months. There are forks, though.

Fork with glide typing - Haven't received an update in 11 months https://github.com/erkserkserks/openboard

"New" fork: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

OpenBoard, Florisboard, AnySoftKeyboard

THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES, PEOPLE!

Ah, that makes sense, thanks for clarifying.

Well, Mull is more like a "Librewolf for Android", I (think) it is more privacy-focused than Fennec.
Mull also supports more extensions from developer options.

Check these out for Librewolf and Mull's results. Fennec isn't in the list (yet?)
