The Pixel’s most powerful privacy tool doesn’t come from Google, but I’d install it in a heartbeat

Google’s Pixel phones have long been sold as some of the most secure Android devices you can buy, thanks to the inclusion of the Titan M2 chip and regular security patches over several years. There’s a bit of irony to that statement, of course — Google’s entire business model revolves around selling ads. Indeed, the search giant has quite a bit of insight into the way you use your device along with a host of other analytics and location data.


Having said that, Pixel phones have one unique advantage: they are compatible with GrapheneOS, an open-source alternative to the default Pixel operating system. GrapheneOS makes it extremely difficult for apps — Google’s included — to phone home in the background.
