Which phone brand is recommendable at the moment? Fairphone uses android, which can hardly be trusted.

Google Pixel + GrapheneOS

Also, if you think Apple's completely closed source software is more trustworthy than Google's mostly open source software... LOL

also, idk how true this is, but ive seen that google sells pixels at a loss when they’re on sale (they expect to make back the money by spying on you)

so if you were to get a pixel while it’s on sale and install grapheneos on it, not only would you get a nice phone with a secure os, but you’d do so while costing google money. win win win!

Well, the point is I do not trust either. I am on apple now, but my experience with android is that there are apps you cannot uninstall.

On the other hand I have once tried a custom rom, but it was not a great experience. I do think I will need to try this again.

Custom ROMs are all different. Some suck, some don't. I've heard very good things about Graphene. You can even install it from the web in a couple clicks.

Do things like banking and MFA apps work? I have to have Duo for work

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

For some it works, for me it doesn't and graphene is detected as an unsupported OS.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not sure, I've been looking at Graphene myself but haven't used it. Just passing on what I've seen.
