You start with a fresh Windows install and run the playbook on it. It's practically a one time script

That is pretty impressive. Going from a clusterfuck of tubes and pipes to a very clean looking engine

Thanks for your contribution 🙏

Do you think using GrapheneOS is useless if you plan on installing proprietary apps anyway? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

If you main issue is the need to download apps from the Play Store, consider Aurora Store.

No app on GOS has root access. Not even Play services, the whole point of the sandboxing. You remain in control over the app's permissions, as you mentioned.

[...] and as another user said they are ~~somewhat~~ sandboxed.

I was shocked to find out that the hardest part of the installation was finding a Chromium based browser on PC lol

All you have to do to install GrapheneOS is press one button in the WebUI. No other 'ROM' has been easier to install.

Makes sense. Whenever I open Firefox, of opens on the (empty) homescreen where I can start typing in the URL bar right away. But everyone has got their own ways!

It gets me wondering, I have never use a search bar widget in my life and I find them rather setting in the way.. My search bar is just 1 tap away inside Firefox, which is also on the desktop... I've not seen many people around me use it

Do people really use it?
