Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer

Hey, the security is nice, but I really like the detailed control over notifications, GMS prompts, and network access. When I used PixelOS, my phone did things I didn’t want it to, and it was hard or impossible to make it stop. On GrapheneOS, the defaults are a pretty good experience. I even recommend it to non-techies since they can use it with the Google apps and its still a more respectful experience, even if they don’t need or want the level of control that I like.

TL; DR-- There are many good reasons for regular people to prefer GrapheneOS

I wouldn’t exactly call the people that run a non-stock OS “normal”

Sure, but they’re also not especially likely to be a drug dealer. I’m a GrapheneOS user and bought the Pixel specifically for it, and I’ve never done drugs in my life, much less traffic in them.
