Windows 11 recently included a basic fastboot driver, removing the need for Windows users to install a fastboot driver to install GrapheneOS.

Our new web installer takes advantage of this and we’ve now updated the instructions for up-to-date Windows 11:

This is one of the benefits of our new web installer. New install process is also quicker and more efficient, reducing the memory and storage requirements below what’s currently documented as required. We also overhauled CLI install to do it the same way, which speeds it up too.

Edge supports our web installer, so Windows users can simply use the default browser similar to using Android or ChromeOS. Apple refuses to support WebUSB so macOS users need a non-default browser. Non-ChromeOS desktop Linux still needs udev rules due to handling USB incorrectly.
