My setup on GrapheneOS with all the exploit protections on except some off for apps with compatibility issues. Thoughts?

Some apps that you use are not safe. Aurora store doesnt send too much data to google but it doesnt verify app signatures which can lead to installing malicious apps, use normal play store instead which verifies app signatures (its also suggested to use by grapheneos devs). Whatsapp, collects data about you. Cromite, uses adblock plus which is really bad. Also here is another reason why cromite is bad:
"Casually reminds you that Ironfox exists & it’s a lot more “private” than most chromium-based browsers, & has ublock origin. (slow by default tho)
also while aurora store doesn’t verifies signatures, is has Exodus integrated which dynamically analyses & warns about spyware, tracks and telemetry so you more caucious about the littered “free” apps…
Yes, ironfox is good too (i forgot to mention it) but on grapheneos you will want to end up using their browser
Also, having exodus integration in app downloader is good but not worth it for exchange of no signature verification, so it’s better to just check it in browser instead or use their app to check trackers
Cool, especially more so on PWA.
But I’d still recommend having ironfox for general browsing & not throwing privacy to the window.
(You won’t believe it but, I just wrote a blog-size reply and accidently deleted it for trying to put it on a pastebin service…)

Ah fuck, I use Cromite because I find vanadium PWA for the stuff I use are buggy and slow. I used to use brave for this purpose, should I go back? Damn I guess I will need to link this phone to my throwaway gmail account (which still has private data) WhatsApp I can’t ditch due to family and Signalphobic friends
On grapheneos you should be using vanadium since its most secure browser on phone. On other android devices, use brave instead. Also if family and friends dont want to use signal but want to use whatsapp then uninstall whatsapp, one way or another they would have to either end up using sms or other form of contact
Hmm I might do that actually, I’ve been wanting to get rid of WhatsApp for a while now, I think I’m still gonna use a second browser (Brave now) for my PWAs, my threat model allows it
On the contrary if in the end everyone moves to SMS and normal calls wouldn’t that actually be pretty bad? Since WhatsApp is E2EE (with the major flaw of default unencrypted backups which are shoved down your throat). But maybe it’s not that big a deal since I assume most if not all of the people I’m talking to likely have unencrypted backups
