A OS not knowing anything about permissions and which lets apps do everything they want by default.. bold statement to say its secure. They do a decent job of patching 3rd party / CVE's though. Open source? Well not anymore than stock Android id say.
Note: I used Sailfish OS for 2 years

- raimue 9y agoTo be fair, the permission model of SailfishOS is the same you use on your Linux desktop. Every application has full access to your home directory. Although access to some data needs special privileges by standard UNIX permissions on files like the contacts database. At least Jolla claims to test and verify behavior of applications offered in their store, but it is up to you to trust any third-party applications you run.
- H00tyMcOwlFace 9y agoWell you are comparing apples with oranges here ;) True, good point about the testing!
