I’m using GrapheneOS on a Pixel 7a which I bought just to flash it. Google Android just ran on it for the obligatory update before the flashing. It’s just very secure and that’s what I like about it. I’m not so sure about /e/ even though it’s being supported by semi prominent people here in DACH.
Comment on I want a phone I can actually fix, and Fairphone’s record growth shows the world does too

For me any concerns about e/os are overshadowed by buying one of the most sustainable and “ethical” phones there are currently available, and not supporting google.

By using /e/ os you are supporting google because /e/ os is not degoogled

Buying a Pixel isn’t automatically supporting Google. You can get them secondhand.

You’re indirectly helping Google though. If the second hand market is better for Pixels than other devices because of Graphene, then people are more willing to buy Pixels, so Google sells more of them.

How is it not degoogled?

Where does it say that specifically? The table is not mobile friendly.
According to e/os themselves, it is degoogled…
