I tend to buy stock Android, e.g. Motorola moto g30, etc. It still has lots of Google stuff, but you can get rid of them, and I have a work profile specifically designed for Google-related stuff, and my personal profile is de-Googled as much as possible.
- microtonal 1y agoI would recommend everyone who wants a clean Android to look into Google Pixel phones. Aside from being mostly bloat-free (and most bloat can be uninstalled), it is one of the few phones that supports unlocking/relocking and a secure open source alternative (GrapheneOS).
- pkaeding 1y agoDoes grapheneos prevent this? In what way? I know apps like ShareViaHTTP [1] are able to open ports (listening not just on the loopback address). If I installed a meta app, could it still run its listener that scripts on webpages could talk to?

- microtonal 1y agoI didn't say that. Only that GrapheneOS does not come with any adware/malware preinstalled. That said, their default browser did block one of the attack vectors: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114620254209885149 https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/114620254209885149
