    Me loving GrapheneOS intensifies.

    Chromium and Webview ripped out and replaced with hardened Vanadium.

      Man, I had gaming scheduled for this weekend. I guess I gotta move up my plan to backup everything and switch over to GrapheneOS.

          If you have a Galaxy, you’re in for some s**t

              It’s possible, but a huge PITA. Learning how to do it, that is. Once you know all the magic incantations and have your potions and elixirs available, it’s easy enough.

              Most of the “how to” guides don’t mention all the little crap you need to know so it takes a lot of trolling through forums to find why this next step isn’t working.

                I have a galaxy phone but haven’t pursued the idea of installing grapheneOS on it as I thought it would be impossible. Please share you arcane knowledge of the unholy incarnations.

                  Probably as well as any other stock Android ROM, because that’s all it is, plus a few security patches on top.

            I’ve been daily driving bazzite for a few months, I would highly recommend you give it a distro hop for a bit to see if it fits you. The main downside is getting used to the atomic mindset and changing how you install your tooling

              I actually have it on a laptop, because I wanted something virtually bulletproof that my SO could have that just works. No worrying about broken configs or leftover cruft.

              Just undecided if I want it on my main desktop. I’ve had a few minor but annoying issues with it, though nothing unworkable. Ricing is sometimes problematic, and that’s something I enjoy. I really like the build process, though, and how you can downstream your own version, and I like ostree backups (plus I can’t wait for bootc).

            Sorry didn’t realize you were asking for ROM

            Lineageos is your best bet.

      Last I recall, Vanadium lags behind customized-Firefox in privacy features, and even more behind the Tor Browser.

      Having a tool like Noscript is absolutely necessary, with today’s browsers, if you want to fight fingerprinting.

        All I known is DivestOS is dead as is Mull 😮.

        • https://web.archive.org/web/20250113132510/https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps

        And there’s things Vanadium/web view offer that Android Firefox never can:

        • https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

        By default Vanadium’s JIT JavaScript is blocked. Can easily turn off regular JavaScript if ya want on site settings.

          this article does not attempt to compare the privacy practices of each browser but rather their resistance to exploitation.

          The Madaidans article lacks relevance, we are talking about fingerprinting.

          Android Firefox never can

          That’s just not true, many of those are things that Android Firefox likely won’t do, but that doesn’t mean they can’t do it.

          That said, I care more about privacy than theoretical attacks. Companies are tracking me, black hats might attack me.

        I’m able to use Organic Maps with RH Voice with the sandboxed Google Play + Android Auto Graphene uses for my travelling/cycling/Public-transit map needs.

        Mint Mobile. I’m fine with 5GB/5G:$15/month ~$185/year. 🤘😁.

        I download flac songs/albums for off line use with Tidal when not streaming on WiFi.

        PipePipe for YouTube/etc stuffs. 720p or background playback to save bandwith/battery isn’t bad.

        Thunderbird for my gmail account.

        But in process of moving to Tuta.
