I did have issues with banking apps, but that wasn't the only issue, if it was I would have dealt with it for the privacy advantage.
But I had a lot of os side issues as well, glitching, apps crashing, phone would crash sometimes, I ended up reverting to the pixel is and all of that went away.
That's odd I haven't experienced any of the latter save for some apps crashing before I disabled exploit protections. Do you have an older Pixel perhaps? Which model are you using?
I'm on a 9a now, but I tested Graphene on the 9.
That's odd, I got lots of friends om the 9a and they don't have many issues, outside of banking apps and some proprietary apps. I'd advise trying again if you're still relatively open to it.
To counter what you said earlier, it's not just a "privacy advantage" it's the difference between no privacy (closed source iOS) and nearly 100% privacy. GrapheneOS is really one of, if not the most, user friendly FOSS privacy projects we have. If you're not willing work with it, you're going to give up without a fight as they clamp down on privacy in all aspects of life. Really we should be excercising our ingenuity and patience to constantly push for more privacy and sovereignty, not concede with minimal resistance.
Very good point, I may try it again sometime, I am trying to improve my privacy overall, I use a VPN, tracking protection with DDG, Proton services, and stuff like that.
Those are awesome steps! We need more people willing to put up a fight. Privacy enables freedom, and freedom is never free.
