  • Threema: Three Strikes, You’re Out
    4 projects | /r/Threema | 8 Nov 2021
    A benchmark with a reasonable lower limit probably makes sense, right? https://github.com/threema-ch/threema-web/pull/1091
  • Issues with copy and paste on Firefox
    1 project | /r/Threema | 19 May 2021
    I just experimented a bit with different browsers however it works fine for me with Firefox 88.0.1 and Chrome 90.0.4. If you're on windows you can use the clipboard history (Win+V) to validate the picture is actually in your clipboard. If it for some reason still doesn't work at all I suggest writing a Threema Web Bug Report via GitHub or waiting for the Threema Desktop Apps, however they don't have a launch date yet (as far as I know). If you need this feature right away I suggest trying a different browser like Google Chrome or Ungoogled Chromium if you don't want any Google services.
