This story with restricting users is a similar one to Manifest V3 in Chromium.

But we don't have anything like FF as an alternative to go from Android. Especially considering banks require "certified OS".

What about GrapheneOS?

>>scotty+p8
Is it a joke? Have you seen the list of supported devices?

https://grapheneos.org/releases

(Pixels only)

>>zx8080+Y8
Is there anything about GrapheneOS that limits it to only Pixel devices, or was it just a prioritization decision?

>>falcor+ka
It is sus as heck and just about everyone in cybersec was complaining about that weird decision.

Go for Calyx or any other android distro, they have zero difficulties in supporting more devices.

Serious question: can you point out some serious complaints? They seem to have an exhaustive justification for their reasons to only support Pixels, see https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

>>ghgr+8p
We would happily support other devices meeting these requirements and have limited what we include in the requirements to enable that. We're actively working with a major OEM towards a subset of their devices meeting these standards and providing official GrapheneOS support.

It's not our fault that the only other devices providing the security features we need don't allow GrapheneOS to be installed or to use those features. Massively lowering our standards and using low security hardware missing the basics we depend on and have built major protections around wouldn't make sense. It's not what GrapheneOS exists to provide. People can use LineageOS if they don't have the same priorities we do.
