  • I got a pixel 9 for $240 CAD via carrier promotion in Canada.

    I held out getting a new phone as long as I could and they offered a new pixel 9 for $5 per month for 24 months

    Not to trade in after 24.

    It’s mine. For 5$ a month.

    When I received it I didn’t turn it on for a week.

    Read as much as I could to decide that Google would only ever see the single boot to enable developer mode and enable OEM unlock to flash graphenos.

    It seemed intimidating, but the process to install is very smooth.


  • Please post the entirety of your online history.

    Surely there’s no reason to hide.

    Whether what you’ve done is entirely legal (or not) authoritariaism doesn’t care.

    What is done in a free society is punished by small men with anger control issues.

    What you may find reasonable to say in a free society, could, under a government opposed to free expression, land you in el Segundo - without your wallet.

    The gestapo hide their faces because they know what they do is wrong, and to hide from justice.

    People who protest or simply appreciate privacy do so because they understand the potential for retribution and being disappeared.


  • I’ve had the unload flag enabled in about: config for months.

    Haven’t used the update yet but there are several related flags to change the appearance and behavior of unloaded tabs in there as well.

    Tab groups are another thing I was using for a while, they still hide some flags to enable some options. Again, there are some neat flags associated with this in about: config.

    There are also some hidden peefs for backing up your data that would be cool if they pushed them.

    Sometimes it fewls lkke I probably spend more time tweaking flags than I do using the browser.

    I use the release version, not nightly or developer. But you can usually find some future features in there. Some good, some not. YMMV.

    As always - Use caution.

    I really enjoy graphene and the separate user profiles with no google integration.

    If a google app, or something from play store is needed they’ve developed a compatability layer and sandbox for play services and store.

    It’s a lot of security toggles and permissions.

    But not having Google sucking your data at every level of the OS is great.

    Wirh the isolated profiles, you can still have a fully googled system which you can fully lockdown at anytime, while having a pure aosp high security profile.

    It’s fdroid and Izzy/codeberg and ironfox and termux and a few other repos on main.

    I don’t do snap/insta/meta/etc and have no need for apps that drain my soul, anyway.

    Anyway, yeah, google fucking sucks.
