Why ? Just why ?

I completely agree with you. I think people downvoting me because "fuck Google" when in fact, hardware wise, is the best available to achieve privacy and security.

Luckily GrapheneOS has a duress passowrd feature. Very useful for these situatuons!

Disabling updates is not a good choice. If you use Windows, update Windows. Having an insecure and not up to date version of windows makes you more vulnerable

Thank you for sharing!

If i was you, i would buy a Google Pixel 8 (8a is cheaper than 8 and 8 pro). They all provide support for GrapheneOS, have 7 years of updates, MTE, and so on

GrapheneOS!

Hi! While your idea is understandable, i think we have to think about one thing: what about other vendors ? It's not like Samsung, Xiaomi, Fairphone etc. run on open source hardware. If you use any smarthpone, you have to accept you'll use closed source hardware. That being said, if we speak about hardware quality Google Pixels are the best ones, that's because you can install an alternative operating system without compromise the device's security. It does not make sense to go "fuck Google" and then buy another smartphone which came from a company that does the extact same thing - spy on you - but without the possibilty to install an alternative OS.

As a second thought, i think the theory "Google puts backdoors on Pixels to spy on users" has a big fallacy: Google already do that, but with a clear and legal privacy policy (photos, documents, backups, contacts, messages, emails, search history, location history and so on -- they can literally see everything about you). So, why they should do something illegal ? And for what purpose ? People put all their life on a service which does not encrypt anything, and if police needs data they can ask google and Google will give data to them. No backdoor needed.

Now, i'm not defending Google, of course. I'm just saying, hardware wise (and if you think about using an alternative privacy oriented OS) Google Pixels are the best choice.

A lot more has to put regarding this topic, but i don't have time to give you more information, i'm sorry :(

I will link the GrapheneOS's FAQ: https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

I really like the project! Keep it up!

I did not know Kagi. Thank you!

Edit: spelling

Startpage is really nice. I use it when sites blocks VPN users like me since i can proxy every page i visit through them!
