// ANONY_BEAN VS EVERYONEEvery comparison.
One verdict.
Anony Bean is built to be the world's most private anonymous chat: a browser chat room with no account, no install, no analytics and no stored chat history. Messages, photos, files and polls expire 60 seconds after they are sent. Here is how that stacks up against the apps people use instead.
