|    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.

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.
