Comment on Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads

No google code at all to get full functionality of your hardware (excluding Google pay, but graphene doesn’t have that either.)
Anything you need, e.g. swipe typing or advanced camera features, you can install Google’s versions and block their ability to talk to the internet via the built-in firewall.

Sure, you get that by default. Firewall only steps in for apps you explicitly block. There’s a toggle for if you want apps blocked by default for you to allow, if you chose.
Point is, it’s a system that just works, stays out of your way and doesn’t phone home to anyone, just as you’d expect.
Whatever you wind up doing, good luck out there and have fun.
