And since you won’t be able to modify web pages, it will also mean the end of customization, either for looks (ie. DarkReader, Stylus), conveniance (ie. Tampermonkey) or accessibility.

The community feedback is… interesting to say the least.

    You don’t have to do any rooting to install it, unlike how you would with Samsung phones in the past. You can’t install GrapheneOS on a phone that doesn’t already allow OEM unlocking and it only works with Pixel phones, but the process is simple and extremely low risk. You just plug the phone into your computer and use the web tool in your browser.

    If you ever want to return to the normal Android, Google has a similar tool that allows you to easily reinstall the original OS.

      Thanks for the explanation! It seems I’ve been irrationally afraid of installing new OS’s after previous experience.
