I’ve been thinking about making the switch for a year or two. I installed Graphene on an old phone to get a feel for it, and the only drawback I noticed was that it doesn’t support Firefox. Is there anything else I should consider before switching? You can be honest - I’m mostly sold and just want to know what to expect.
It depends on how you use your phone, but I think the main thing some people miss is contactless payments. Also, some banking apps don’t support GrapheneOS.
I too initially missed Firefox (well, Fennec) but I’ve grown used to Vanadium.
You can install firefox no? They don’t recommend it for security purposes, but it works fine.
Yeah you can. But I was happy enough to stick with Vanadium.
I’ve got Fennec on mine (via F-Droid), as well as Ironfox and Waterfox, but agree with the rest. One other thing I’ll add (coming from a regular Android) is losing RCS texting, which reintroduces some of the minor frictions of texting with iPhone users. I’m trying to get my main contacts on Signal anyway.
