  They have different goals. I use /e/, where the focus is removing all communication with Google while providing a OS that’s as user friendly and ready to use as the competition.

    You can just not install google play services on grapheneos and communication with google is removed, while still being more secure

      I was just pointing out the differences in goals.

      Does Graphene OS come with microg, the open source reimplementation of Google Play Services, installed by default like it is on /e/ OS?

        no, grapheneos doesn’t come with anything google installed by default. It does have some shimmed play services that you can install if you want though

  Those are’t as secure. If you look around there are comparisons of them that go into the details
