Why?
What benefit does this have over Signal/Matrix?
The article just says "improvements".
why? because it would be cool if only intended recipients are able to view sent messages.
That's not really going to be the case if you're using a website instead of an audited app like signal/matrix.
that argument doesn't hold. you're letting perfect be the enemy of good-and if you truly believe that, then you wouldn't be recommending Matrix which has web clients, see https://app.element.io/
from what i can tell, mls supports much larger group chats (50k users) whereas i assume signal would struggle.
my chat of 10 people i signal seems just as secure, if i am reading right.
