Privacy

End-to-End Encrypted Messaging Chrome Extension

What It Does

OneBuddy includes a truly private messaging feature using ECDH P-256 key exchange and AES-GCM 256-bit encryption. Messages are encrypted on your device before transmission and can only be decrypted by the intended recipient. Zero-knowledge architecture means not even the relay server can read your messages.

Why It's Better Than Standalone Extensions

No other Chrome extension combines encrypted messaging with productivity and privacy tools. You get private messaging alongside ad blocking, screen recording, and 10+ other tools — all in one extension. No separate app installation required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the encryption implemented?
OneBuddy uses ECDH P-256 for key exchange and AES-GCM 256-bit for message encryption — industry-standard cryptographic algorithms.
Can the server read my messages?
No. Zero-knowledge architecture means messages are encrypted on your device before transmission. The relay server only handles encrypted data it cannot decrypt.
Do both parties need OneBuddy?
Yes. Both the sender and recipient need OneBuddy installed for end-to-end encrypted messaging.
