Element for Android doesn’t support searching in encrypted channels and I think you can’t use E2EE in the browser at all(?), plus basically every other client has even more drawbacks when it comes to E2EE.
My team recently tried RocketChat, but E2EE is obviously an afterthought for that project as it has even more limitations than non-Element Matrix clients (no searching, no pinning, no file upload, no edit, etc.). Plus Jitsi integration seems to be buggy right now (at least on my Windows installation).
What else is out there that’s not on my radar? Is Matrix with Element really the best option right now? Is there no project that puts E2EE above all else?
Edit: Should be self-hostable and (FL)OSS.
simplex chat maybe?

There are many options to choose from.
SimpleX is supercool and the best for normal anonymous messaging. Not for companies, school, etc.
I don’t think SimpleX is the right tool for collaboration efforts. I could be wrong though. The last time I tried it was two years or so ago.
