Thank you. I wouldnt have known this if it wasn't for this post. I've never seen these sites. Good post.
This does not solve the Play Integrity API issue. This would make app compatibility even worse lol.
Only a few apps enforce Play Integrity so it is still the best option for a casual user. Cash App enforcing it is my biggest hurdle.
XMR is decentralized and its seen as a currency
anyone know the name of this case? asking for a friend
Nostr must be a bigger tree
Why isn't it possible for a creator to exist?
Why is a windows computer not my computer? makes no sense
The desktop security model is insecure in general. Phone OSes are much more secure.
Reasonable desktop OS to use is Qubes, Fedora, MacOS, ChromeOS, or Windows pro/enterprise (hardened)
Phones are much more secure especially the Pixel 8/pro with MTE immensely reducing remote exploitation. GrapheneOS is the only distro that enables MTE by default and recently implemented it in their Vanadium browser.
Secure phones (secure elements are important): IPhones and Pixels (GrapheneOS or stock)
Also yes, Chromium is much more secure on Linux than Gecko based browsers because of its great internal sandboxing and site isolation. Firefox on Windows is catching up though, but still bad on desktop Linux and android.
This all doesn't matter if you're running an EoL device. Make sure your receiving official security and firmware updates.
that's about it
I recommend you purchase a Google Pixel 6a or above (minimum security support ends July 2027) and flash GrapheneOS. (Pixel 8/pro preferred)
Aurora Store doesn't avoid Google since a lot of the apps from the play store include Google's SDK and libraries. microG also doesn't avoid Google as it is still running proprietary Google code and has more privacy/security weaknesses
Sandboxed Google Mobile Services is a much better implementation which is featured in GrapheneOS. The services are not privileged and is treated like any other app. They don't downgrade privacy or security unlike the other alternatives.
There are much more privacy and security benefits using GOS. Here is a 3rd party comparison between different mobile OS.
