   Oh boy. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/1635

   tl;dr Signal Desktop is based on Electron, which in turn is based on Chromium 58-59, and it seems to be affected by bugs that have been fixed in Chrome/Chromium 60-62.

   Gotta love #Electron. As somebody said "now everyone is running 5 different instances of old insecure versions of the most scrutinized and attacked application on Earth."

     @rysiek @lattera also non BSD compatible. Signal is great but some decisions puzzle me. Before they choose a chrome app. Also very "portable". Actually I have my chromium mostly because of it.
