Google announced its end-to-end encryption tool was no longer a Google product. Instead, it’s become a “full community-driven open source project,” the search giant said in a blog post. The tool is designed to work as an extension to Google’s Chrome browser that uses the OpenPGP standard to encrypt emails. It was announced amid growing scrutiny over U.S. surveillance efforts following disclosures from noted leaker Edward Snowden. Google hasn’t made the extension available on its Chrome Web Store, making it harder to install.”]
