I’m currently using GrapheneOS and I quite like it, but I would like to switch to something else. Will I lose much privacy if I switch to e/OS? Can I lock bootloader after flashing it like on GrapheneOS? I’m using Pixel 7 btw

Seems like the exactly appropriate amount of drama to me!
Then you don’t grasp the difference in how the sandboxed play services are implemented in Graphene vs when they’re running with privileged access normally.
But if you’d like to elaborate on what your concern is with regular user level apps, that basically get zero OS information, and lots of blank/null information back, Id love to hear it.
It’s still a Google espionage service, even if we’re putting a pretty effective blindfold on it.
If someone wiretaps my landline, but I’ve set it up so they never hear anything (as simple as not using the landline), it’s still a spying device, it’s just been made ineffective.
Ok, but that’s not really the same as we’re still using the services, and they’re not getting what they want, which is the whole point. You could just not install the play services, but then you lose a ton, vs you getting what you want, and them not, that’s a win. In fact, it’s almost better than a win because it’s one sided.
