@Mikina @possiblylinux127 and yes it works without root it doesn't use it much less require it

it is sometimes given a privileged state in the OS as a system app, which is fine IMO, LineageOS and DivestOS can run it unprivileged just fine

@Mikina @possiblylinux127 microG is basically an open source replacement for GMS, it isn't as full as GMS and has less compatibility, but it manages to be enough for most things, sandboxing doesn't prevent tracking, microG deals with it in a better way

It does require signature spoofing (which can be securely implemented and is by CalyxOS and LineageOS, though there are insecure patches out there)

@possiblylinux127 This link you shared is interesting, the continuous attacks from their community are very obvious.

One thing, I am listed as a GrapheneOS supporter which is HILARIOUS. I wish I could contact this guy, I think they might have gotten that from be defending somewhat GMS sandboxing because another guy was saying some weird stuff.

@Ste41th mullvad, definitely

i hate not being able to send/get money from people outside my country that's stupid

@umami_wasbi @Alb087 auditing code is complicated, not everyone will know how to do that, and even the people who do can miss a lot

@Alb087 @tavu yes, it doesn't automatically mean it's unsafe, but this is shady software none the less.

I use a few extensions which also have this warning but I do because I trust them

Pretty much everyone here is just recommending ublock origin, so just use that.

@Alb087 like look at this and tell me this doesn't scream commercial, about to steal your data?

@Alb087 i don't see it having more users, or ratings? ublock origin has 7m users, this has 1m. Plus, the websites to this ad blocker you mention seem like commercial. non-open-source software, I wouldn't doubt that this is spyware.

@Alb087 this mascot is giving me the creeps.

@Alb087 why not use something more... trusted and probably better? ublock origin is the best around.
