So i am installing GrapheneOS rn and i need help:

  1. i want app tracking protection to every app something like duckduckgo's app tracking protection if there is something better?!

  2. someone explain me (with simple words) what is auditor cause i can't understand even if i read about it on GrapheneOS' website (i am like 50% noob with these things)

  3. is my wifi masked automatically with GrapheneOS or should i 100% use a vpn? is there a setting in the OS somewherere? i need a lot of privacy and security to my phone!!!

also tell me additional tips for privacy/security for GrapheneOS if u have any!

thanks a lot!

A curated list of services and alternatives that respect your privacy
  • yeah cause you are safer in android (its's open source) and specifically in grapheneos

    GrapheneOS vs LineageOS vs CalyxOs vs DivestOs vs /e/OS vs iodé
  • do you mean that these apps work on graphene os with or without the sandboxed google play?

  • basically, i underestimate it cause in my country the thieves or anyone don't even know what is the bootloader lol

    they are so uneducated cause our educational system is very old

  • So which on of these are better for my pixel 7a if we consider these:

    i dont care about leaving the bootloader unlocked

    i want customization to my os as long as this is possible

    i hate google so i dont want any google things or google spyware (i dont use any google service)

    i need push notifications for some apps (maybe microg or sandboxed google play services? idk)

    i don't use esim or google pay so idc about these

    i need A LOT of privacy and security to my data to the point that i want to block trackers for any app i use

    i wanna use google camera as it is in stock rom but i dont want google spy shit. if i use a firewall would that be ok?

    Note: i can sacrifice locking the bootloader and customization for my privacy/security/not having spyware on my phone

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: i just saw that there is iodé (which sees app trackers and i found it interesting) plus CopperheadOS

    Edit 2: THANK YOU ALL A LOT, your answers are the best, imma go with grapheneos and donate them also cause their job is the best

    also i found this matrix for oses that helped me: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm !!!

    Edit 3: Deleted CopperheadOS from the title - no need to compare cause it's garbage (see comments)

  • just change search results to be located in Greece and you won't have any ads
