Apparently it can be removed, then a placeholder “app” can be installed to prevent re-install https://github.com/daboynb/Safetycore-placeholder/releases
I checked and don’t have it on Google Pixel, which somehow makes me even more paranoid now…
Just get a supported Pixel phone and flash GrapheneOS on it. And while you’re at it, install a Linux distribution of your choosing onto your computer(s).
What pixel phone would you recommend for someone on more of a limited budget? i recently switched to Linux on my desktop and my laptop. Its just my phone left to sort out now
Used 8a’s and 9a’s are relatively cheap. 7 Is okay but I would try to get a newer one for a longer update cycle. I’ve heard 6’s and older have battery issues, so maybe stay away from those ones.
Also I would reccomend reading a bit of their documentation on their website. I uses Graphene and I reccomend it, but it wasn’t exactly a painless transition for me. It was worth it though.
alrighty tyvm :)
No problem. It makes me happy to see more people turn away from big tech so I try to help when I can.
I have Pixel 9a (~400€ new). Look for the latest used device as you’ll have updates for 7 years minimum.
