@projetslibres_podcast@piaille.fr @Framasoft@framapiaf.org @fla@mastodon.social GrapheneOS heavily improves privacy compared to the Android Open Source Project in contrast with /e/ heavily reducing it. GrapheneOS is far ahead of the standard pace for privacy patches instead of behind and we fix many privacy weaknesses ourselves. We've fixed a bunch of Android VPN leaks and many forms of data leaks to apps. Since GrapheneOS is a serious privacy project, we have to put substantial work into security too because privacy depends on it.

@projetslibres_podcast@piaille.fr @Framasoft@framapiaf.org @fla@mastodon.social /e/ tries to provide privacy by bundling a small blocklist of domain names solely used for ads and analytics. This doesn't do anything to address the most privacy invasive behavior by apps which happens via their own services. It doesn't stop apps sending data to arbitrary third parties from their servers or even client side. It can't block anything without the app using a dedicated domain for the unwanted behavior which usually isn't how things are done.

@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @projetslibres_podcast@piaille.fr @Framasoft@framapiaf.org @fla@mastodon.social I'm using /e OS on my Fairphone 4. I want to switch to Graphene, but I don't know how, and I'm scared of losing all my stuff.
