A question as old as time, I know.
I’m getting away from Google and I’ve done the easy stuff: CoMaps, Proton mail (I know, not the best move), aveslibre, etc. I currently don’t have the time (or the knowledge base) to learn how to self host, but hopefully that will replace Drive and such in the future.
But I digress. I’m looking at a new OS for my phone. I’m currently in a contract with a phone that is incompatible with alternative OSs. Graphene needs a Pixel. Used, they’re $150-400. /e/OS will run on a Motorola or whatever and those are like $80.
There’s also the option of going full Fairphone with /e/os and I like that idea in the future.
The internet people tell me that Graphene is the best due to ease of installation, privacy, and security.
I don’t need a lot of security. I just want Google to stop suckling all that sweet, sweet data from my teat.
What are your thoughts?
Why do you say not the best move for Proton?
Their CEO tried to cozy up to Trump when he re-entered office
Ahh yes, I remember the whole controversy. I still think Proton as an ecosystem, and a product are still great for what they are, and for promoting privacy regardless of what Andy said using the official Proton account. (negative IQ play).
Regardless, GrapheneOS is still the staple in terms of limiting, or out right removing Google from your phone.
