This is a short developer guide to add Chat Encryption and extend Ban Evasion features in the viewer, by simply customizing 2 files in the viewer source:
- settings.xml : Edit the default homepage to:

- toolbars.xml : Edit a WebBrowser button into the toolbar.

Ease of use
1. Just enter a random chatroom you both agree on
2. Enter a temporary username

And then just chat away by clicking their username.

Pros:
- No registration required (bypass SL surveilance in seconds)
- Disposable Identities: All usernames are temporary which makes it very hard to link anything to your SecondLife or Real Life accounts.
- Plausible Deniability: If you ever get in trouble, you can just say you were framed.
- No installation required (This service is entirely web-based and does not require you to install anything on your phone or computer)
- Doesnt require you to run 2 applications side-by-side (no dual screen or split screen required), all chat goes thru the browser window inside the viewer.

Cons:
- Can still be screenshot (but highly unlikely to be used as valid evidence as anyone can use a temporary username that resembles yours)
