Curious what people think.

Do you think using the GrapheneOS operative system is useless if the user plans to/needs to install Play Store apps anyway?

I think I’m not alone in feeling this way, but sometimes I feel a sense of imposter syndrome because I’m not perfectly private and am dependent on some Play Store apps. This has caused me to question if the transition to GOS is meaningful at all.

Feel free to share your opinion. Cheers! …posted from my GrapheneOS Pixel.

    Been on Graphene for a bit less than a year, its been great. You’re correct about google apps being regular apps with no special perms, but also there are sandboxed user profiles so if you’re particularly concerned you can keep all your dependent apps over there with double sand boxed google 😛

    Ive only had one or two issues with app compatibility but they have a setting to apply a less secure ruleset thats worked for me both times.
