@z3r0fox@mastodon.social Bit off topic, I'm still using a Googled Pixel but I'm also using DDG's tracker blocker which prevents apps from sending data home, for example I assume constant location data. It has blocked thousands upon thousands of third party data tracking attempts through the few apps I use. I'm very happy with it. I may try Graphene at some point but the app I use the most is Libby which isn't available on Fdroid, I have 3 different libraries connected to it and I'm not sure if people continue to use certain apps like Libby from the Google Play store after they switch to Graphene or other OS. This kind of confusion attenuates my motivation to switch.

    @Nonya_Bidniss@infosec.exchange That tracker blocker sounds pretty sweet. You can in fact sandbox proprietary apps from either the Play Store or Aurora in Graphene profiles as well if you choose to do that. Setup sounds a bit like what Qubes does, I prefer to stick with the FOSS stuff.
