I can’t really tell you which one is the best, since I never used any of these (except for Session) for an extended period of time. Briar seems to be the best for anonymity, because it routes everything through the Tor network. SimpleX allows you to host your own node, which is pretty cool.

Ok sure, it’s more complicated in a corporate environment. But you can easily convince your friends to switch to Signal, I got almost all of my friends and family to use Signal and it’s great.

The problem with Signal is that it’s just not very user orientated.
Wdym? The user experience is basically 1:1 the same as on WhatsApp
