OTRVersus OMEMO
Some people don’t know if they should go with OTR encrypted chat, or OMEMO. I will fill you in on the pros and cons of them both on this post.
OTR
OTR has no logging whats so ever. If your computer is taken, no one can read previous conversation. It has a couple layers of encryption making a safe chatting experience. OTR has another great feature, it comes with authentication which is why I feel like it is better than OMEMO. OTR is usually made used on Pidgin. Pidgin is by far the best universal chat client so OTR wins.
OMEMO
OMEMO is used on a lot of other universal chat software's. OMEMO doesn't have as many layers of encryption as OTR. The pro of OMEMO though is that how easy it is to enable for gajim. You just go down to the bottom of the person you are chatting with and click the shield to turn on OMEMO. Making it very easy to enable. You don't need to have a crazy long download.
Even though OMEMO is used more and a more new and safe messaging plugin, OTR is the way to go. PLEASE USE OTR, OMEMO SUCKS!!!
