Fuck them. i have already opted-out for your tracking shit, why are you keeping nagging me each week (ruffly) ?

Fuck them also to disable “incognito mode” on mobile after idle. Real bastards.

Yes, I try to avoid their products but 10y+ habits is hard to beat.

    Lineage OS ? Built by unknown amateurs with a hell of non-audtiable toolchain (show me the last audit compaign)

    I will stay on iOS* with Firefox and use Searx.

    • yeah, Apple is less offensive than Google.

    Don’t downvote me to hell, please.

      Vanilla AOSP is an option if you violently distrust Lineage. Or if other projects like Divest, Calyx or Graphene are acceptable, buy supported hardware. A used Pixel, for example, is much less than an iPhone.

        I don’t have anything against Lineage but the claims have to be taken with a grain of salt for anything concerning security.

        I heard about Graphene and it might be a more credible solution, but I have lost interest into opensource mobile, to be honest. My iPhone is just a glorified 2FA device for work and administrative entities (so closed source) with Telephone capability (GSM network is proprietary).

          Yeah, I getcha. As a green fellow, I’m not yet much help for evaluating the security of projects by more than hearsay.

          Compatibility with work and network requirements is unfortunately a pain still. It seems as though you might just be best off as you are.
