Me loving GrapheneOS intensifies.
Chromium and Webview ripped out and replaced with hardened Vanadium.
Man, I had gaming scheduled for this weekend. I guess I gotta move up my plan to backup everything and switch over to GrapheneOS.
Its a pretty easy switch and has some nice perks like disabling the software restictions on the USB C port so you can actually hook up displays
If you have a Pixel, yes.
If you have a Galaxy, you're in for some s**t
I thought it wasnt even possible on a galaxy
It's possible, but a huge PITA. Learning how to do it, that is. Once you know all the magic incantations and have your potions and elixirs available, it's easy enough.
Most of the "how to" guides don't mention all the little crap you need to know so it takes a lot of trolling through forums to find why this next step isn't working.
I have a galaxy phone but haven't pursued the idea of installing grapheneOS on it as I thought it would be impossible. Please share you arcane knowledge of the unholy incarnations.
How does GrapheneOS play with folding phones? Nicely?
Probably as well as any other stock Android ROM, because that's all it is, plus a few security patches on top.
What service provider are you using with Graphene? I want to de google but it seems a wasted effort when I have FI
According to multiple users on the GrapheneOS forum it works just fine https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/7950-does-grapheneos-work-with-google-fi/2
I'm able to use Organic Maps with RH Voice with the sandboxed Google Play + Android Auto Graphene uses for my travelling/cycling/Public-transit map needs.
Mint Mobile. I'm fine with 5GB/5G:$15/month ~$185/year. 🤘😁.
I download flac songs/albums for off line use with Tidal when not streaming on WiFi.
PipePipe for YouTube/etc stuffs.
720por background playback to save bandwith/battery isn't bad.Thunderbird for my gmail account.
But in process of moving to Tuta.
Yeah I'm going with a Murena phone and /e/os installed, as they're both European.
Last I recall, Vanadium lags behind customized-Firefox in privacy features, and even more behind the Tor Browser.
Having a tool like Noscript is absolutely necessary, with today's browsers, if you want to fight fingerprinting.
All I known is DivestOS is dead as is Mull 😮.
And there's things Vanadium/web view offer that Android Firefox never can:
By default Vanadium's JIT JavaScript is blocked. Can easily turn off regular JavaScript if ya want on site settings.
The Madaidans article lacks relevance, we are talking about fingerprinting.
That's just not true, many of those are things that Android Firefox likely won't do, but that doesn't mean they can't do it.
That said, I care more about privacy than theoretical attacks. Companies are tracking me, black hats might attack me.
