Briar?
Bridgefy was used more during protests since it's available on both iOS and Android, while Briar is Android only.
Bridgefy seems to require an online account to use. Brair requires zero obline accounts, and even allows sharing the apk to nearby devices without internet.
Edit: Yea, just checked... Bridgefy requires an internet connection the first time you launch it. Not good...
Yeah I'm not saying Bridgefy is better, just that it's available on both major mobile platforms while Briar isn't. I do prefer Briar on technical and privacy levels.
I don't thiiiiink that's it, but like I said, I don't remember the name, so it might be ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Briar is the one that was mentioned a lot when the protests were happening in Hong Kong, if that helps ๐
Taiwan? ๐คจ

Yes, sorry. I woke up in the middle of the night, but apparently my brain didn't...
I'll correct it now ๐
