Here we go again...
Every single time I read a blog post about GrapheneOS I feel quite disappointed. How is it possible to not read the official documentation or the high quality posts in the forum to get an idea what this project is actually about?
Here are a few excerpts from a blog post I read just today:
Everything that brings known spyware into the mix, like corporate communication suites, banking apps, rideshare apps, airline loyalty clients, food delivery apps, all the usual suspects, belongs on a separate, deliberately untrusted device.
In practice, my recommendation, and the one GrapheneOS itself tends to partially make, is roughly as follows: Owner profile: Lean, minimal, no Google services. F-Droid, trustworthy apps, a solid browser like Vanadium or Cromite.
My general recommendation is to solely use F-Droid for free-software apps.
GrapheneOS with Android 16 is sadly about as good as it gets.
I won't comment on any of these "recommendations" because they obviously spring from a lack of knowledge and misguided assumptions.
I just wish people would read the official documentation or ask project members before posting harmful advice on the internet.
