The makers of GrapheneOS have confirmed they are partnering with a major Android OEM to bring the OS to Snapdragon-powered flagships.

They shit on other projects all the time (frequently unprovoked, sometimes without the original conversation having anything to do about security). They also often reply with multiple posts with multiple paragraphs each when shitting on other projects. It shouldn’t take very long to find an example if you trawl through their replies on Twitter, Bluesky, or Mastodon.

They have good points, but they’re often either not relevant to the conversation or worded in such a way that it sounds like every project other than GrapheneOS is dogshit.

They also sometimes go on (IMO) paranoid rants about XYZ project systematically trying to destroy them or whatever.

I got the same vibes when they describe in detail how supposedly terrible Firefox on Android is for security. I actually didn’t believe them just based on the tone.

I mean, I think they’re right that the security is worse. I’m pretty sure it’s worse on desktop too, just not nearly as bad. Last I checked, Firefox on Android still doesn’t do per-site process isolation by default, for example.

Blink-based ones (Chrome/Chromium, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc.)

Somehow I don’t believe you when you say that those browsers are better for security.

I’m not gonna bother looking up references, but security and privacy are two different things (since I’m assuming that’s what you’re implying).

Yes that is what they said. But the way they said it made me doubt that it matters quite so much.
