New GPG Key; Encrypted GMail with FireGPG

Jump to Comments

I’m sort of embarrassed that I’ve been using GMail for a while now. I rally for data privacy and yet I let a large company house all of my personal communications? That’s a bit hypocritical.

My solution, at least until I can find something more suitable, is to use the FireGPG extension for Firefox. Now, you can send me email without worrying about Google reading it. Yes, they will know that it exists, but not what it says.

If you’d like to contact me securely, my email address is miserlou@gmail.com, and my public key is here.

Try playing around with FireGPG! It’s a pretty cool extension which can integrate GPG with any website, but it does fit in really nicely with GMail.

Anyway, if you want GPG encryption for GMail in your inbox, give it a try! Throw the kids some dollas for their hard work, too.
