The FAQ is accurate. There are no current known issues with what's documented there. Some time ago, we found and fixed an issue in the Vanadium WebView caused by it gaining support for fetching a static file with variations for A/B testing. This is only possible to resolve in the OS because apps do not each ship their own copy of Chromium like Electron apps but rather use the WebView provided and updated by the OS. If there's something undesirable in it, we're in a position to change it. Note that we do not provide an exhaustive list of these kinds of connections for the Vanadium browser once a user opens it and begins using it at this point. It's in an earlier stage of development than GrapheneOS itself. On the other hand, the Vanadium WebView will not make any connections that have not been requested by the apps using it. A normal Chromium WebView would fetch variations. Separately from the default connections by the OS, if you use a carrier choosing to use Google servers for RCS, etc. then you'll also end up with connections to those without disabling the features. That's true outside the Android Open Source Project too. Some carriers host their own services on Google's cloud. There's not much that the OS can do about carriers using their services. Carrier configuration also determines how features like SUPL which provides supplementary location information when location services are enabled. Modern carrier-based calls and texts are data-based which means the OS has to connect to the servers configured by the carrier. That traffic is visible as OS traffic. We plan to add a separate section documenting stuff about carriers but it's beyond the scope of the default connections made by the OS, since it's what happens when you've set it up with a carrier. Our focus in this area right now is on implementing an eSIM activation app to support eSIM in GrapheneOS. It has OS support from AOSP but it doesn't have an activation app since AOSP doesn't include the Google apps and services.
