Don't put all eggs into a single basket.
This one?
Most open source projects, except few popular ones, are maintained by 1 person in their spare time.
Nubia was hacked remotely. It received no updates for years, so it was an easy target. I unlocked Nubia and plan to install LineAge OS to it when my Pixel 5 will die.
Pixel 5 was hacked from close distance via WiFi or BT.
Pixel 6 with Graphene is not hacked yet.
Lack of root doesn't protect me.
However, I use SafeDot to monitor phone access to microphone, camera, GPS, so I'm alerted when it starts to beep, which creates problems for spies, so SafeDot is banned by Google at request of СІА. I cannot fix this, because Google controls my phone instead of me. SafeDot still works on Pixel6 GrapheneOS with warning notification about it «unsafety» though.
Russia warns Europe that it will freeze to death if help to Ukraine will continue -> Russia stops NS1 to demonstrate their economical superpower -> EU companies are looking for $18 billion compensation -> NS1 blows up to make an excuse.
No, I cannot rely on the app sandbox. If someone else controls a device, then this device can be used against me.
Your antivirus, scanner or not, is useless on your device for you.
My antivirus on my device is useful for me. It works fine on GrapheneOS (Pixel 6), but banned by Google on Pixel 5, which is not supported by Google with security updates. WTF?
Users know about this problem and know how to mitigate it. Get out of my way, please.
It's true only if user is the threat for the user, e.g. a user with low IQ but high curiosity, but such user usually cannot install GrapheneOS.
