    I'm out of the loop. Any examples of this?

    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.

    worse than what? What browser is better?

    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.

    Yep. They need an actual comms professional. I love GOS and am forever grateful to the team but having a bunch of non-nuero-typical devs speaking for them is not doing them any favours.

    For me, it would be the opposite. Their "unprofessional" and aggressive way of communications makes me think they are doing it for convictions rather then personal benefits. The person that's helping you doesn't need to be overly polite. The person trying to get something out of you does.
