I have a Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS but all opinions are welcome.
My choices:
1° Disable screenshot feature 2° Desktop mode
Google to stop spying on basically everything if you have a default Android install.
It is sad to say but I guess this won’t happen my friend.
-
Education regarding advertising ID and its deletion presented during setup (consent).
-
Addition of internet permission on per-app basis. Just like notifications now, every new downloaded app must get your permission to use the internet, else work in offline mode.
-
Give permission to only selected media to apps rather than everything. This is such a security risk, one bad app and it can steal whatnot.
2 and 3 are already supported in GrapheneOS.
Im pretty sure this feature is from the upstream lineageOS, for those without a pixel
I know. I was going to buy a Pixel 7 for it but the G2 processor runs pretty inefficiently thanks to Samsung’s 4nm process, as compared to something like the 8+ Gen 1. It’s pretty weak in comparison as well. So I ended up getting a Nothing Phone 2 and manually degoogled it, swapped everything with their open source counterparts. Not full proof I know, but my threat model is escaping big tech surveillance and living an ad-free life which is more or less getting satisfied xD

Having a built-in system setting for apps you choose to require biometrics would certainly be nice.
Installing apps without having to deal with Google or shady app stores.
You can install apps without Google Play the problem is that Google services has a lot of privileges in the system and many useful apps relies on Google Play services to work.
Aurora store (google-dependant but at least it’s anonymous) and f-droid exist

iirc the librem 5 has hardware switches, which are such a comforting feature to have
