That's a prediction I would disagree with. Firstly, there are application developers which specifically add support for GrapheneOS if they are asked nicely. Secondly, there is a chance that Play Integrity will have to change due to ant

Google Maps is sandboxed even on the stock Pixel OS. Sandboxing is part of the AOSP. GrapheneOS hardens the sandbox a bit, but it's not the most significant feature of the project. What isn't sandboxed on Android OSes that license

It's not really a requirement of a Pixel device. It just happens to be the case that Pixel devices currently are the only devices meeting the hardware requirements listed in the FAQ: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-de

You can create a Google account without adding a phone number, that's still possible currently. To do this you need to make it within an app, for example Google Play Store or YouTube, not on the websites. You also need to use a trusted

Where is the government forcing you here? Does Spain have regulation that obliges the use of apps for banking for certain functionality and disallows websites? Or what are you talking about?

Moreso, the project advises against rooting your phone and tells you that if you install GrapheneOS and root it that you aren't running GrapheneOS anymore.

You link three things, that doesnt equate to "every independent organization". One of your links is a post by Brave and Brave isnt independent in this. The unsubstantiated fear of people for MV3 is beneficial for them, it could gr

It is sadly not a joke. Its sad that OEMs outside Google and Apple currently dont make hardware and firmware with reasonable security.

by tranq_cassowary 11mo ago
That would become a meaningless effort security wise as time goes on. The drivers and firmware will become outdated. OS updates are necessary but not sufficient. I get the e-waste / enviromental argument, and I think its very warranted

Not yet disclosed. We know its a top 10 Android OEM though that cares about security for their future devices!

People in that thread mention a GrapheneOS project member together with the worst of bigotry, slurs and death wishes. And Rossman just decides to keep replying and talking in that thread. Like its worth engaging with these people and they d

You can't equate actions from a part of the community with actions by the project. If you would see any bigotry by a GrapheneOS community member, please report it to the moderators. Bullying, toxcity and misinfo are not allowed. Action

Sailfish OS just takes the wrong approach, to be honest. It makes more sense to have the more secure OS at the host (Android) and the less secure as a guest for compatability (traditional Linux distro). Its also problematic that the app com

GrapheneOS doesnt really proactively attack GNU/Linux. What happens is that there are posts on the internet about GrapheneOS or mentioning GrapheneOS in which or under which completely wrong comparisons between GrapheneOS and GNU/

Google has implemented lots of privacy and security features in AOSP over time. The app sandbox and permission model has evolved a lot, in a good direction. The codebase is also modernized with the increasing adoption of memory safe code. A

Doesn't really make sense in a conversation about security (the HN post was referencing security). Traditional desktop OSes (Windows, MacOS, traditional Linux distros) are just at an entirely different level than modern mobile OSes (An

True. This is an issue in America specifically. Where there is a Google Apple duopoly on tap-to-pay tech. Can be worked around though with smart watches like Garmin watch with Garmin Pay. In many other regions there are alternatives like Cu

Fingerprint is present in GrapheneOS. Face unlock and pattern unlock are left out because insecure. Patterns unlock is insecure in design. You start at a certain point and the next points you can go to are very limited (not the same point a

That's not the reasoning. The reasoning is lack of proper hardware support on supported devices for secure face unlock. Coerced unlocking also holds true for fingerprint in some instances and that's worked around by using 2FA (fin
