Is it possible to write an OTR plugin/extension for Google Talk that can encrypt the text locally before it's sent to the other person, who would also use this plugin? From what I'm reading Cryptocat already works in a similar way.
I know there's already Jitsi or Pidgini with OTR that can do this for Google Talk and FB chat, but those are just other apps that you need to install, and I think a Chrome plugin/"app" would see much wider adoption. Or should we just wait for web crypto before this can be possible (2014)? Or just wait until Google themselves to do it? (if ever)
Those who care anyway already use clients which support OTR with the same Google Talk or any other XMPP server like Pidgin, Adium, Jitsi and etc. Those who don't care won't use anything even within the Google Talk web application.
Standalone XMPP clients anyway are way better than Google Talk web application, since they are more flexible and allow using several accounts at once.
