> Your server can feed arbitrary Javascript to browsers and subvert encryption in a variety of ways, can't it?

That's how literally any website works. How do you encrypt in the browser if the server doesn't send JavaScript to encrypt data? You also trust Signal not to issue an update that sends data in plaintext over the network. Unless you're building an app from source, you implicitly trust the developer to some extent.
