I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    Oh I see what you mean. But a big enough data dump from the phone carriers identifies all of Signal’s users, not good.
