“Meta devised an ingenious system (“localhost tracking”) that bypassed Android’s sandbox protections to identify you while browsing on your mobile phone — even if you used a VPN, the browser’s incognito mode, and refused or deleted cookies in every session.”

    The problem is that GrapheneOS is only available for Pixel devices.

    I really wish they would support other manufacturers, because I don’t really trust Google to make decent hardware (and to be frank, I don’t trust them with anything at all).

      I use e/os which is at least de-googled & based on Lineage
      Its not exactly Graphene but it works on 8+ old devices of various manifacturers

        I am very keen to get a Fairphone with e/os next time I switch devices.

        Does it work well with Android Auto? I can’t drive much without a map and my music playlist.

          did not test that but here is a page how to “google” the “de-googled” os for supporting that
          https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/android-auto

          because of that lineage could be a better option

          About Fairphone: there is an alternative (Shiftphone) that is more expensive but with the main plus points of having a higher storage option and the mainboard is replaceable, they also have somewhere a cheap (~200€) phone that should work if you really just need a phone
          (i mention that as an option, because having choice is always better even if it ends up being the first thing that gets choosen)
