I have already a degoogled phone on /e/OS which works pretty fine but I have red an article which said /e/OS is not actually very safe because it has very old security patches compared to AOSP which has is up-to-date.
/e/OS is the product of Murena company which is promoting their own stuff for profit.
Of course GrafeneOS would be better for privacy but I have a fairphone so it is not an option.
What about CalyxOS ? It is more privacy oriented but now releases are paused. Do you think I should install existing build of CalyxOS for FP5 or install LineageOS and find a good DNS/VPN to block ads and trackers. This is a tool I like on e/OS/ to have a view on blocked trackers.
What alternative would you advice on AOSP ?
Article written by GrapheneOS? They are hardly objective. Graphene’s social media account hates every android ROM that isn’t called GrapheneOS and will excessively shit on it. It’s to make you believe nothing but GrapheneOS is secure. It also helps that they are releasing a phone with Motorola soon that will come with GrapheneOS pre-installed on it.
My bet is that they will call it the most secure phone on the planet with quotes taken out of context from anywhere they can find.
I don’t know who wrote the article. I don’t really need GrapheneOS and I won’t buy a special phone to get it. Calyx Os looks to be a good project but it is paused. IodéOS is also up-to-date unlike /e/OS.
