Nice to have another additional layer of security
(from the article)
Google is now offering a plug-in called End-to-End for the Chrome browser -- in alpha test -- that lets users encrypt their web email messages.
The new End-to-End Chrome extension encrypts, decrypts, digitally signs, and verifies signed messages within the browser using OpenPGP.
Both the sender and the recipient would need to be using OpenPGP, says Alex McGeorge, a senior security researcher for Immunity Inc. "You still have to go through the whole process of exchanging keys,"
"Once we feel that the extension is ready for primetime, we'll make it available in the Chrome Web Store,
Just how secure the extension will be also is unclear, McGeorge says. "JavaScript and crypto have typically been incompatible. A lot has to do with getting good randomness. That is super important for PGP."
