  • We should challenge some of those superlatives that projects such as GrapheneOS can coin from time to time. Those projects are not abstract master entities, they have people behind of it and they are not authorities in all subject matters. They are correct about Gecko browsers insecurities on Android however it may be questionable the use of the term “leagues ahead” in this comparative. I use GrapheneOS and Vanadium but I don’t believe that using some Gecko hardened browser would be so terrible like it sound. Specially if you are not a focused target. For example, I keep Tor as a secondary browser for some specific tasks on my phone.

    People could perhaps start helping more the Servo project. They really need some help and for those that program in Rust or want to learn it this could be a very good place to devote your attention.




  • Google turning Pixels more and more complicated to have alternative OS isn’t a good sign. I hope GrapheneOS come up with a open source and secure phone alternative. Fairphone or TeraCubes using alternative OSes aren’t private or secure enough. I hate to say that but if I would be in the market today for a phone I’d be considering an IPhone.

    I literally just tested Jerboa, Thunder and Voyager on my Android phone. Jerboa is ok, the UI was too immutable, like an IOS product. Thunder is a closer call to Voyager, it has a better search engine with more options but Voyager after tweaking has the best reading experience IMHO
