Well, the table in the link OP posted does a good job of showcasing it

• This website needs JavaScript to display the most basic content, have fun with a blank page otherwise

No bs in form of additional apps, but the core system itself does very little in terms of improving privacy

cough cough Zoom. But then, even stuff like yay on Arch has its folder just in plain sight, slapped right into my home directory. Like, why

I've been using it for almost two years now, and I like it a lot. (small disclaimer, I'm running it on a OnePlus 5T, which is one of their so-called golden devices that it runs best on)

It's pretty much the next best thing after Graphene, if you don't want to buy a Pixel.

The guy who maintains it does an excellent job of documenting issues, what works on what device, what the system itself can and can't do, it's very transparent.

He doesn't overpromise either, and explicitely states that getting a Pixel with Graphene is the better option overall. Greatly appreciate the honesty.

I'll use it for as long as he'll support my device, and then we'll see if I switch to Graphene.

One important thing though: While you can install microG, DivestOS doesn't officially support it, and while most things work, some don't. SafetyNet, for instance.

Great browser, though having proper uBlock Origin is something I just value a lot more.

And not wanting to be a part of the Chromium monopoly out of principle.

I don't think it's very hidden^^ Great game though, I've replayed it a few times to try out different things

I believe <3

Well then, these two go together surprisingly well

There are quite a few games on Steam that come without any DRM, or one that can be easly circumvented without additional tools.

You might find a few of your games on that list, which will make this whole ordeal a lot easier.

on mobile Brave is better for privacy

Better than default Firefox, though something like Mull is on par, if not better in some areas.

Where Chromium browsers on Android still have the edge though is security. Process/tab/site isolation, stuff like that.

I'll be sad about that, but neither can I afford a new phone, nor would it be sustainable to buy one

Using Tor Browser with anything but its ootb configuration defeats the whole point, so... no

Getting a Pixel just to have Graphene is not always an option. At least not a sensible one that factors in everything that's important when buying something.

My current phone still runs perfectly fine, so getting a new one feels like a massive waste, too.

DivestOS absolutely slaps. Well, all things considered

Edit: It's absolutely fantastic for what it is, and that is fact. Maintained by a single person, well documented, and doesn't promise more than it can deliver.

Not a whole lot, then. But then again, even 160km/h is faster than the average speed you'd travel at on the Autobahn

Sometimes that folder isn't even hidden, either

I compiled Firefox from source on my laptop for shits and giggles one time. Poor i3-5005U took a good 24 hours to do it

Stuttgart - Köln is one of the connections that go max speed, and it really is glorious.

But I don't think there's actually that many places the ICE can go that fast, is there?

MOM, I'M FAMOUS
