Getting Mailvelope on Chrome to use GnuPG on macOS

Install gpgme via Homebrew: brew install gpgme This will install gpgme-json in /usr/local/bin by default.  Create a file called gpgmejson.json in  "~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/NativeMessagingHosts" with the following contents: {     "name": "gpgmejson",     "description": "Integration with GnuPG",     "path": "/usr/local/bin/gpgme-json",     "type": "stdio",     "allowed_origins": [         "chrome-extension://kajibbejlbohfaggdiogboambcijhkke/"     ] } Now in Mailvelope > Options > General , GnuPG will show up as the encryption backend.
