  Sadly GrapheneOS only supports pixel phones and I refuse to give more money to Google.

    LineageOS isn’t quite as hardline about the hardware having specific security features, and works on a BUNCH more phones. Maybe even your current one. If not, it’s a lot easier to avoid Google buying for Lineage support than for Graphene.

    Buy a used one, that’s what I did. Google didn’t make a dime off of me.

      How do I reliably tell an unlockable bootloader from just a carrier unlocked device that may still have a carrier firmware that prevents bootloader unlocking?

    I didn’t know that. There is also LineageOS that supports a wider range of phones.

      /e/OS is a degoogled fork of lineageOS that supports my fairphone, So I’ll probably switch to that.

  Buying a Pixel is just giving Google more money. Flip phone here I come.

    They don’t make money on the hardware, only on PixelOS
