    Mullvad, IVPN, and Proton are the top tier for privacy respecting VPNs.

    Windscribe and AirVPN are also decent options but do not have the audit history to be in the same tier as the other 3.

    Most other VPNs people mention either have a dubious history or no real proof of their claims to be privacy respecting.

    That’s fair, and the reasons why someone buys a phone is a personal choice.

    I would suggest with things like a headphone jack that, while its annoying to buy an adapter (usb-c to headphone) it may be worth the cost vs sacrificing something like hardware security.

    Sadly a lot of the time consumers are forced to choose between security and privacy or convenience.

    If the security benefits of a pixel is less important then the fact Google made it then GOS is simply not meant for you.

    Its silly people complain about it being only compatible for pixels but never seem to blame other android brands for making significantly less secure phones. The responsibility should be put on phone makers to create secure phones that meet GOS requirements, not to expect GOS to make a less secure OS.

    The whole AOSP environment is very Google centric so its pretty weird to think because your not buying a pixel that you are somehow avoiding Google.










  • I am not going through this wall of BS point by point but here is a fine example of how I know you have no clue what your talking about…

    One place I strongly disagree with Graphene OS is the sandboxed Google services framework. They say having Google in a sandbox is more secure. It may be more secure, but it isn’t going to be as private as MicroG.

    MicorG has privileged access to you phone, it literally has no privacy benefits over even standard Google Play. You are just choosing to trust MicroG with that level of access instead of Google.

    Honestly just don’t use GOS if you don’t believe in its benefits or at least sack up and post this on their official forum.
