I wish there was a way to keep Grapheneos installed and locked down without root, but with a way to adjust screen color. The only way I can tolerate pixel screen color reproduction is to root it and use an app to adjust it.

Ooooh that. Yeah I get that with android auto.
I’ve recently turned off all apps (including google) permission to draw over other apps and that seems to have stopped it for me, on Pixel 8.
Been using smart launcher for a while. I like that the pro version offers blur.
Article mentions 3rd party launcher gesture issues, but I’ve never seen this problem. I used to use Nova but switched to Smart launcher for the blur, but at no time have gestures been an issue. Any ideas what they mean?
And jump to the clone? Mozilla isn’t better (consider their recent Ad Privacy clone), they just have less market share.
That said, I use Firefox and Brave. Whatever I feel like at the time.
Brave has added a feature to explicitly enable MV2 apps and install uBo directly from Brave settings. You can also install uMatrix and Adguard MV2 versions also.
Yeah Heliboard with the swipelib is closest to gboard for me, better than Futo, however, Futo has a voice typing app also that is incredibly accurate, and punctuates near perfectly. So I use Heliboard with Futo Voice Typing.
It’s probably Google sharing that information with Amazon. Amazon isn’t actively spying on Google searches. I could be wrong though, but that is what Google “Ad Privacy” spyware is really about. To let Google share your interests with other companies.
Um, if you’re security minded, you’re already staying far away from Authy, so I’m not really sure what the article’s focus is.
That said, I’m using 2fa all day long on Grapheneos. No issue. And prior to Grapheneos, I ran rooted and had been using Authy with no issue, so this kind of sounds like an advertisement piece for Authy.
I’m not really the one to ask as I don’t buy a smart phone for a camera. However, it looks good to me and I have a picky eye. And from what I’ve seen, you can use Google Camera on Grapheneos and get the same quality pictures and video.
They made it where you could sandbox all of the Google stuff, and Android Auto works fine too.
That looks nice, but apps that use GSF for push won’t use that. Or am I missing something on their website?
I had recently installed Grapheneos on my pixel, with a goal is determining what was responsible for all the senseless Google domains that a pixel normally contacts.
To my surprise disabling Network for the Google Services Framework and Play Services killed all of the nonsense. The only downside was that GSF has the push mechanism in it also, that many apps use for push notifications.
If only there were an alternate for push notifications that all apps would use.
Anyway, Grapheneos runs way cooler than Google’s Malware version.
So they get to keep their Ad Privacy malware and cookies. Sounds like that was their endgame.
I don’t argue with trolls. There has been plenty of discussion as to why this is bad news.
For a spray that actually will kill the odor, try Ozium. But that probably needs to be an additional tool in your arsenal.
It does not matter how you feel about Googzilla. Spyware is spyware. And this is just one of many aspects of spyware built into and sneakily added by Googzilla.
That’s why there are forks like LibreWolf that remove that nonsense, because people aren’t sitting back and letting Googzilla run it into the ground.
We finally found out who is hoarding all of the peanut butter! It was AI all along!!
