I know this has been asked a lot, but not exactly the way I'm asking. It might not be the best idea to ask this question in the GrapheneOS forum because I think the response will be obvious, but I can't post in r/GrapheneOS nor r/Privacy since they wish not to be mentioned in Reddit.
I know GrapheneOS is open source and can be audited by anyone, but since I don't have the knowledge and it would be my first time as an adult that I'll be installing a custom ROM I'm concerned and wondering if GrapheneOS is safe. Not in terms of third party safeness, privacy or security, but in terms of trusting the people behind the software. I'm not stating anything about them. I mean, I'm going to be installing bank apps, so I'm concerned if its safe to use them in a custom ROM made by a small group of people instead of a huge multinational company such as Google or Apple, who are a nightmare in terms of privacy, but I can trust them in terms of using my bank apps, and log in with my password and username into personal services while using Android or iOS
Please, bear in mind that I'm not accusing them of anything! Just asking a question that is dancing in my head before installing the OS, which sounds great, but I'm still concerned about it.
Thanks!
