I stumbled across this today and thought it was worth sharing. I have used every one of these ROMs except /e/ and they are all good projects in their own right.

TL;DR: GrapheneOS is the best for privacy and security.

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Only works on Pixel phones though

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because the Pixel unfortunately is the only secure Android hardware platform

[–] MaggiWuerze@feddit.de -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

There's nothing inherently safer in Pixels, they are just the only ones that get security updates fast enough for Graphenes taste

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh yes there is. ARMv9 MTE, Titan M2 secure element supporting Android Verified Boot, StrongBox (https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/keystore), Weaver, Hardware key attestation and Insider attack resistance, as well as a programmable USB controller that allows the user to fully disable USB-C (while the device is locked) on a hardware level. Pixels also have hardware support for full Wi-Fi MAC address randomization, and all radios are completely separated from the main system through IOMMU. I recommend this video, it's a pretty good breakdown of some of the hardware security features + the GrapheneOS privacy/security improvements.

Wow, I had no idea. That makes a lot more sense then, thanks for the sources.

[–] Tregetour@lemdro.id 4 points 6 months ago

Thanks for posting.

What's the difference between significantly and extensively?

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago

I think it's trying to say that DivestOS has removed more proprietary blobs than the others. Poor wording, I agree.

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

How exactly is AOSP not FOSS and debloated?

Kinda hard to take any of this seriously with those claims...

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 months ago

AOSP has a lot of proprietary software behind the scenes

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (3 children)

The link only opened properly in Tor Browser, not Firefox for some reason

[–] Blaze@reddthat.com 7 points 6 months ago

Opens normally in Mull on mobile

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 7 points 6 months ago

That's strange. It behaves normally for me and I'm also using Firefox.

[–] limerod@reddthat.com 5 points 6 months ago

Working fine on my end.
