ANONguard vs SchildiChat Next
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
ANONguard
ANONguard anonymises the Internet connection. In the process, the IP address of the smartphone is hidden with the help of the AN.ON anonymisation service (https://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/).
SchildiChat Next
SchildiChat Next is a client for the matrix protocol, based on the Element X app. Similarly to Element X, this SchildiChat Android rewrite should still be considered beta, as it lacks some functionality which one might expect from a fully-featured chat app, compared to the old SchildiChat implementation. The matrix protocol is a decentralized approach to modern messaging, allowing you to select a server provider of your choice (or even self-host your own server), enabling you to communicate with end-to-end encryption, shared message history across multiple devices, and more. SchildiChat is open source: https://github.com/SchildiChat/schildichat-android-next More information about the Matrix protocol: https://matrix.org/
