My setup on GrapheneOS with all the exploit protections on except some off for apps with compatibility issues. Thoughts?

    Ah fuck, I use Cromite because I find vanadium PWA for the stuff I use are buggy and slow. I used to use brave for this purpose, should I go back? Damn I guess I will need to link this phone to my throwaway gmail account (which still has private data) WhatsApp I can’t ditch due to family and Signalphobic friends

      On grapheneos you should be using vanadium since its most secure browser on phone. On other android devices, use brave instead. Also if family and friends dont want to use signal but want to use whatsapp then uninstall whatsapp, one way or another they would have to either end up using sms or other form of contact

        Hmm I might do that actually, I’ve been wanting to get rid of WhatsApp for a while now, I think I’m still gonna use a second browser (Brave now) for my PWAs, my threat model allows it

          On the contrary if in the end everyone moves to SMS and normal calls wouldn’t that actually be pretty bad? Since WhatsApp is E2EE (with the major flaw of default unencrypted backups which are shoved down your throat). But maybe it’s not that big a deal since I assume most if not all of the people I’m talking to likely have unencrypted backups
