Curious what people think.
Do you think using the GrapheneOS operative system is useless if the user plans to/needs to install Play Store apps anyway?
I think I’m not alone in feeling this way, but sometimes I feel a sense of imposter syndrome because I’m not perfectly private and am dependent on some Play Store apps. This has caused me to question if the transition to GOS is meaningful at all.
Feel free to share your opinion. Cheers! …posted from my GrapheneOS Pixel.

The main goal of GrapheneOS is security. And on that, it does make a difference. In addition, the Google services are sandboxed. On a privacy stand-point, it doesn’t improve much, but so does installing the same proprietary apps on any other devices/operating systems.
