    It is explained here https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

    They don’t explicitly mention Firefox but:

    "Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives. "

    and

    "Chromium has decent exploit mitigations, unlike the available alternatives. "

    Since I myself lack the knowledge and skills to judge this, I have to trust the word of the developers.

    Edit, correction. They do mention Firefox

    “Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface.”

















  • PostmarketOS seems to support many devices

    3 devices. They support 3 devices under the “main” branch. And those are not even real devices but emulated on PC.

    Every single smartphone they support falls under the “community” branch. that means it was made available by volunteers in their free time. some will never see further updates after getting them to work once.

    And the list looks like this:

    Release Year Name Missing / Broken or not tested Features
    2021 Fairphone 4 Battery Status / charging, Wifi, Audio, Camera, GPS, NFC
    2021 PinePhone Pro Partial Battery Status, Camera, SMS, Calls, USB-OTG
    2020 PINE64 PinePhone Camera
    2020 Purism Librem 5 Camera

    and so on. there is none newer then 2021 and then it goes very fast down to 2012. see yourself: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices#Phones

    It does run on many phones, but e.g. support for Camera is very very rare because that is one thing you most of the time only get a binary blob for as driver and not the source code. and it is a god damn nightmare to get those things working.
