DNS Benchmark v2 is Finished and Available! Guest:
That's right. It took an entire year, but the result far more accurate and feature laden than we originally planned. The world now has a universal, multi-protocol, super-accurate, DNS resolver performance-measuring tool. This major second version is not free. But the deal is, purchase it once for $9.95 and you own it — and it's entire future — without ever being asked to pay anything more. For an overview list of features and more, please see The DNS Benchmark page at GRC. If you decide to make it your own, thanks in advance. It's a piece of work I'm proud to offer for sale. And if you should have any questions, many of the people who have been using and testing it throughout the past year often hang out here.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
Some do work on the PC too but these are the ones's I'm aware of off the top of my head:
1. Session - fork of Signal not requiring verification.
2. Threema
3. Wire
4. Matrix
5. XMPP
6. Jami
7. Antox
8. Briar Project - Android only
9. Wickr Me
10. Could include Manyverse / Patchwork on the SSB P2P protocol as person to person messages are securely encrypted.

Threema was paid for a good portion of its life (I think, without checking that it transitioned to free in the last while.) I believe @Steve was quite impressed with it when he had checked into it.

Signal is funded with Grants and Donations. Like what they do?, throw some notes their way so they never get hoovered up.
Signal Messenger: Speak Freely

There's also Delta chat. https://delta.chat/en/
Then we also have the Fediverse which is comprised of many things like Matrix and Mastodon. Multiple clients can access Matrix (or other Fediverse servers). Element is probably the most used client at this point though. Best part about Matrix is you can also self-host, keep it from being federated, and use it as secure communications with only the people you invite.
Matrix even allows you to do things like this: https://www.beeperhq.com/
