I want to communicate faster via PGP in SR. Is either there a firefox extension I could put my keys into and it will encrypt and decrypt text right in my browser? (although encrypting might has the danger of accidentally sending plaintext without encrypting).
Or, is there a windows program that I could load my keys into and then copy some text to my clipboard, press a hotkey and it will decrypt in my clipboard (or encrypt) or maybe I could highlight text and it will encrypt/decrypt in place?

There is, FireGPG, but it's buggy and has had security holes in the past. I use the GPA frontend, makes life easier.

Gnu Privacy Guard for Windows (GPG4Win) [ gpg4win.org ] has *it's own* clipboard -- as opposed to that of your OS -- that functions much as you describe. There's even an illustrated "GPG (Step-by-Step: Windows Pictorial)" thread [ dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=131.msg516 ] stickied at the top of this subforum if you need it.
If you do choose to try GPG4Win, I wouldn't bother installing Kleopatra or Claws as you won't be needing either of them for business on SR.
