I’m currently using GrapheneOS and I quite like it, but I would like to switch to something else. Will I lose much privacy if I switch to e/OS? Can I lock bootloader after flashing it like on GrapheneOS? I’m using Pixel 7 btw

    • µG is not running as root
    • It does not “already have google code in it”. That’s an optional, tightly scoped feature with one specific blob that is required to implement the SafetyNet feature in any implementation
    • I see no reason why you couldn’t run µG inside a sandbox too; the differentiating factor for security is the sandbox, not the GMS implementation. Also has nothing to do with privacy as, contrary to the original GMS, µG doesn’t spy on you to begin with.
