When will a PC Windows/linux/etc. based incognito wallet be created?

It operates so slow on my phone, which is already pretty slow. I also hate having to use something that can be pinged back to me. Seems like there would be a priority to make this for PC as well.

Often when I click on something on my phone, since there is no thing that indicates it registered me touching it, I’m not sure if it registered me touching it I’m left wondering if it’s just being slow, or did my phone error out or what.

2. Web pDEX and Incognito wallet browser extension - paused until Privacy v.2 is released

Not only is it distracting to develop these tools when layer 1 is still in need of upgrades, but it also doesn’t make sense to release extensions that will need to be reworked when Privacy v.2 goes live. Additionally, there are security concerns about releasing the extensions without thorough audits. For these reasons, we’ve decided to delay these and will revisit them after the Privacy v2 upgrade.

When does Privacy v.2 release?

1. Privacy v2 (ETA: May 2021)

Privacy v1 offers basic privacy. With privacy v2, everything that happens in Incognito, from shielding to sending, receiving, trading, and unshielding will be private. This improvement is of the utmost importance.

Additionally, as you may know, Incognito currently uses temporary addresses to preserve privacy. This intermediary step and other hindrances to decentralization will be removed with Privacy v.2.

So your answer is no earlier than June, and very likely not until several months after that. The other current initiatives will monopolize dev time until those are complete. Thus I would expect the devs will restart the browser extension and web pDEX towards the end of completion with all the current initiatives.
