> But “give up a bit on security” doesnt preserve privacy that’s the whole thing.
I gotta disagree with this. GrapheneOS has bought into the crappy smart phone threat model, but the most obvious way to preserve my privacy is to give me complete control over my device and let me tailor it as I see fit. This means root. GrapheneOS doesn't allow root access and that's horrible for privacy.

Root access is tricky because it can be less secure overall but I guess this is dependent on your use case. I think you can still do it but you have to edit the rom beforehand so yeah not out of the box.
