I don't think a highly insecure OS not shipping privacy/security updates for months is even a reasonable choice for people who don't care much about privacy and security. Their site presents standard Android privacy/secu

You can speed up app launching by turning off the optional exec-based spawning feature. Our camera app also has a Latency mode which recently became the default instead of Quality mode. Google and Apple camera apps essentially always use so

They don't know much about it and haven't used it. CalyxOS isn't a hardened OS and isn't at all comparable to GrapheneOS. They recently didn't even ship half the baseline Android security patches for 2 months, let a

GrapheneOS supports running Google Play as regular fully sandboxed apps without any special privileges and without the OS using them as the backend for anything. It has near 100% Play Store app compatibility when using sandboxed Google Play
