My privacy & user friendly setup [2026]
What I use to protect my privacy that I would actually recommand to everyone to try as it does not requiere a lot of effort to use that instead of the GAFAM and Big Brother stuff !

Android - Open-Source, Privacy, and convenience
The best Android apps for privacy and convenience. Open-source preferred. Remember, the most secure way to download an app is from its repo, such as Github. The Google Play store is actually more secure than F-Droid, as long as the app is trustworthy.
All of these have been tested as working on GrapheneOS and Android.
But remember, the more apps, the higher the attack surface.













Comments and Reviews
There are a lot of good Android-based operating systems for mobile (/e/, LineageOS, etc.), but GrapheneOS is probably the best, security and privacy-wise. I've been using daily for years, and I'm very pleased with it, I've never encountered any issue whatsoever.

Know your graphene history
This OS is the best OS in the world of Android. The only OS you can truly say can save your digital life and actually let you own your phone, not be slaves to it.
This OS is made for you as a human being, not as a product.
When you have a GrapheneOS phone, you are safe again, secured and protected, and most importantly, you are in control of your phone and your apps. And I can confirm 100% that you will never ever find this in any other OS, even iOS or Linux-based phones.
I've never felt so happy and so confident using a phone until I installed this OS. And how much my perspective changed from the moment I used it until now is huge.
You will never ever comprehend the amount of data tracking and bloat you're in, and how much you became a slave and just a source of money. You blindly use the default of whatever OS or app you find without even thinking one second about how much you lose as a human. It is a disaster for us as users of software.
And you won't see these points until you use GrapheneOS.
This project is beyond just another secure OS.
This is a cause that loses every day because of illiterate people.
It's a cause of “me as a user using software, not being a slave/product sold to advertising companies.”
This project is the GOAT.
It needs support because it stands for our side, not capitalism.
I won't talk about how easy it is to install it, or how stable, faster, cleaner, and better this OS is than even stock OS or any other phone company OS. The fellas already showed that.
Don't think of it as a custom ROM that needs care.
This is what an OS should be and what you should use.
There isn't a single issue in terms of using it.
It's better than the OS of huge companies.
I used it for years, and I used Xiaomi for years, and this OS is better and more stable than MIUI.
Forget about any glitches or app compatibility or that stupid banking apps issue. That's history.
You should change your perspective about it. Don't see it as a custom ROM, see it as a normal OS just like iOS, ColorOS, or HarmonyOS.
Just that it is made for you, not for them.
It feels more like "Vanilla Android" than even Google's PixelOS. It's highly private and doesn't have the incompatibility and security drawbacks of CustomROMs. It's honest, ethical and relatively simple. I've used it for years and it's my favorite OS. Even reliability is great, and that's coming from an alpha-tester. And all that while being completely open source and independent/donation-funded – GrapheneOS is almost too good to be true.
It is the most private and secure mobile OS at the moment, and it works well. It also has an option for having a sandboxed Google Play Services, if one needs it. Installation is super-easy too.
Easy Setup, instructions are easy to follow, using it for years now with only a few disadvantages, but a big leap in terms of data protection. Love it.
GrapheneOS is the only mobile operating system that really focuses on security and privacy; the security competitor is iOS.
GrapheneOS is general-purpose and entirely user-centric, the operating system strives to be as easy to use as possible, ideally, a user experience almost identical to that of the original operating system, updates are very fast, security and privacy enhancements, additions and features are done elegantly and without disrupting the user.
The highest-priority security and privacy enhancements are visible only via the code, and are not modifiable via a user interface.
