    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.

          All of the security features mentioned in the article even started from work done by GrapheneOS - they’re simply upstreamed now
