+- final [GrapheneOS] 📱👁️‍🗨️ -- 2y ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------[...]+
|                                                                                                                      |
| As a project, GrapheneOS continues to grow with exceptionally loyal users, and it is easy to understand.             |
|                                                                                                                      |
| We are not some hobby or experimental OS. We are a work of (almost) 10 years of mobile and Android security          |
| research, with paid developers, members from many branches of computer and security expertise and volunteer          |
| moderators. Everything GrapheneOS has and will implement is added to target the current threat landscape, and is     |
| designed to combat real threats. Our security developments aren't to combat irrelevant, baseless 'what-if' scenarios |
| or create easily attacked obscurity tactics and security theater features. We are not scammers who rely on telling   |
| you that you'll be "bulletproof" or "untraceable" unlike what came before GrapheneOS.                                |
|                                                                                                                      |
| We are not some average AOSP distribution simply taking the Android base, piling other apps or flawed, insecure      |
| additions and treating them as our features. This is not innovation. GrapheneOS changes the AOSP base from all       |
| levels, hardening the most exploited components or replacing them with extra secure alternatives that we maintain or |
| have even developed from the ground up. Projects like Hardened Malloc, Vanadium, Camera app and PDF viewer are some  |
| users will reap the benefits of in their day to day lives. Other OS's taking such work shows how valuable this work  |
| has been.                                                                                                            |
|                                                                                                                      |
| GrapheneOS is one of the only open-source projects to trailblaze mobile security, from implementing a lock screen    |
| bypass fix before Google, reporting numerous security vulnerabilities including ones used by companies attempting to |
| attack us, and adding enhancements upstream to numerous open source projects. GrapheneOS is the first and still the  |
| only platform to have ARM hardware Memory Tagging Extensions implemented in production with the Pixel 8 and also the |
| only browser in production when counting Vanadium as well. If you look at the project's socials for this, you will   |
| see additions like these have been planned years beforehand.                                                         |
|                                                                                                                      |
| The foresight the project has for what we should implement should tell you what the experience and skills of the     |
| team members are. GrapheneOS is here to stay, and the work done will be around to stay even longer. Even if you      |
| don't use the OS you have reaped benefits of the work. It's never too late to understand what you are missing out.   |
|                                                                                                                      |
| #GrapheneOS                                                                                                          |
|                                                                                                                      |

|    Very much so.
|    Problem is: A pixel phone 7 is very expensive in my circumstances. I understand why they won't compromise on
|    security but it prices a lot of people out, for example in Africa.

     Run it every day as well.
