I've been thinking about making the switch for a year or two. I installed Graphene on an old phone to get a feel for it, and the only drawback I noticed was that it doesn't support Firefox. Is there anything else I should consider before switching? You can be honest - I'm mostly sold and just want to know what to expect.

It depends on how you use your phone, but I think the main thing some people miss is contactless payments. Also, some banking apps don't support GrapheneOS.

I too initially missed Firefox (well, Fennec) but I've grown used to Vanadium.

    I've got Fennec on mine (via F-Droid), as well as Ironfox and Waterfox, but agree with the rest. One other thing I'll add (coming from a regular Android) is losing RCS texting, which reintroduces some of the minor frictions of texting with iPhone users. I'm trying to get my main contacts on Signal anyway.
