This is about to change since LOS are about to include MicroG by default in future releases

Should I bet all my savings this isn't gonna happen? Just don't trust unverified rumors and never ever spread them as the truth.

more than any other ROM

ROMs without network support.

Wdym?

I believe LOS uses Google stuff because they get money for doing it, especially for making it the default search engine in the default browser.

How did you know it's not the truth...because I implied it wasn't.. and I don't see it as something that couldn't happen, people asked for MicroG support for years..

I'm not a huge fan of trolling

because they get money for doing it,

I can tell you no Open source ROM gets funds by Google, unless if it's a program... For example GOS received many rewards for discovering vulnerabilities in AOSP

Sorry but this sounds like you're defending yourself because you know you spread rumors or maybe even complete misinformation.

There was no trolling. You said it's the best ROM for security. I told you of a better one. Saying "best ROM for security" was more of an act of trolling than my response.

Idk. I heard that Lineage receives money from Google so I said that but, in contrary to you, I didn't say that I'm sure of it. I just said "I believe it's the case".
