Curious what people think.

Do you think using the GrapheneOS operative system is useless if the user plans to/needs to install Play Store apps anyway?

I think I’m not alone in feeling this way, but sometimes I feel a sense of imposter syndrome because I’m not perfectly private and am dependent on some Play Store apps. This has caused me to question if the transition to GOS is meaningful at all.

Feel free to share your opinion. Cheers! …posted from my GrapheneOS Pixel.

    Yes of course, and this isn’t unique to GrapheneOS. Any proprietary software is a blackbox that can do anything as your user, and you should at the very least sandbox it / run it in a chroot (or better yet, not run it at all).
