I’m currently using GrapheneOS and I quite like it, but I would like to switch to something else. Will I lose much privacy if I switch to e/OS? Can I lock bootloader after flashing it like on GrapheneOS? I’m using Pixel 7 btw

    Were you using the Google espionage services on GOS? If so, you’d likely gain a little privacy because of µG.

    Some devices can lock the bootloader but that’s not a generally supported feature on /e/OS.

      Ah yes, gaining privacy by running microG as root which already has Google code in it instead of running GSF in a sandbox as user.
