GrapheneOS on pixel devices is so great, I hope you all try it! The private & secure mobile operating system with Android app compatibility. Developed as a non-profit & is free and open source software

-Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & increased battery life +more! -Privacy, security & anonymity FOSS!

GrapheneOS sounds great until you hear it's only available for the Pixel.

That's by design - unfortunately only Pixel has the correct hardware for some security modules. You'd be less secure if you were able to install it on any other phone.

Darn, I've been boycotting the Pixel ever since Google broke my 4 XL and tried to get me to pay to have them repair it.
