Google made the Pixel 9 series even more secure than its predecessors by implementing changes to the baseband.

      But security ≠ privacy. So if you want to give all your data away, just not directly but through google, it’s perfect.

      Or you could use graphene.

        will using a custom ROM not break the security of the device as designed by Google? or will relocking the bootloader be enough?

          As designed by Google? Yes. Does it break security in general? No. I am not deep into Android security, but AFAIK the main issue with custom ROMs is the open bootloader, which Graphene does not have.

    lol ok

    It isn’t robbery if the builders that built your house put hidden trap doors in it and periodically sneak in to steal things and take photos of your private life, it is just a normal, safe part of owning a home and keeping it secure!

    Surely the homebuilders dont make a killing selling all that private information on the side… and surely they dont keep all that private information stockpiled in a large centralized juicey target for criminals!

    Google claiming it’s a security juggernaut is the same as when my dad used to burn music on MiniDisk, after being convinced that it “expands quality” beyond lossless
