Tired of Google's Tracking? Motorola's GrapheneOS-Powered Phones Are Coming

You won't need to pay Google for using GrapheneOS soon.

not a surprise really. Apple and Graphene OS would be the motherlode of surprises

I’m not totally convinced that this is the right decision. Motorola devices are neither cheap nor do they have outstanding quality. And I’m also not sure whether they’re at the same level as a Pixel when it comes to security.

But probably the best move considering that Google does their best to hinder custom ROMs. Unfortunately there is no pressure on Google to be more open. How was their slogan once upon a time? Don’t be evil…?

I pefer the quote "you die young enough to be a hero or live long enough to become the villain."

Ja, vor einiger Zeit "Don’t be evil…?".
Aber zu der Zeit auch schon nur ein Slogan ohne echte Werte dahinter.
Vielleicht als Wunschgedanke in den Anfängen bei Google...
