/e/OS or GrapheneOS? (Pixel 7 Pro) (lemmy.zip)

So, I'm looking to maybe possibly use a more secure OS for my phone, and I'm torn between these two. I'm mainly looking at Privacy for my main concern, though security never hurts obviously, and also app compatibility and ease of use. I'm also considering a Fairphone for my next phone down the line, and I'd probably have to go with /e/OS for that, so would it be worth it to just go with that now? Or change later?

I use calyxos btw. The only thing I can complain about is their default wallpaper. I do like how you can choosr which apps you want during the setup, but sadly chromium will always be installed :(

If its any consolation, Calyx Chromium (Chromium that's included with CalyxOS) is a de-googled fork with patches from Cromite (and before that from Bromite). IIRC its because Gecko based browsers don't have as good compatibility, so they went with a Chromium base for their browser

Yeah but they could add it to the menu where you chose what apps to install, so I can decide not to have it(they could also add a warning if you don't have any browser).
