GrapheneOS' whole thing is security and privacy. It's big on sandboxing apps and browser sessions. Google Play and most Android features are opt-in (Google Play Services are also sandboxed). Just check their features. LineageOS doesn't have most of the above. It's mostly just a regular barebones Android distribution without all the vendor bloat, and a great alternative if you just want more control and less BS (if you've used a Samsung device you will know what I mean - absolutely horrible distribution imo). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Skorp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago LineageOS also significantly regresses security compared to barebones AOSP.
