Hi,
I am (very, very early) in the process of degoogling. I am definitely not a high risk as far as needing to be completely locked down. It’s more about trying to have a little more control over how my data is used.
I am looking at Graphene OS, but I am a little confused how certain apps (that rely on Google services) work. I have a Pixel 8 and will have it for the foreseeable future.
The apps I currently use that I would still need (or their equivalents) are:
- Clash Royale (Supercell)
- Notion (Notion Labs)
- Clickup (Mango Technologies)
- Business Calendar 2 (Appgenix)
-
If I installed these exact apps “sandboxed”, what exactly does that mean from a user standpoint? Will I have to use a separate account, reboot my phone, etc, or is it a quick process to use the app?
-
Is there a list of apps that I could browse to find equivalents to the above? Recommendations here are also ok.
-
I saw that Firefox isn’t exactly private(?) and that Vanadium is better in that aspect but I don’t understand why. Can someone ELI5, and help me see if this is a relevant concern for me?
Thank you! 😁

lol, so angwy
It’s all good bro. I said i was dropping it. I’m sorry. In all honesty, I see this place as a way to unwind, I joke a lot (not always in a way othees may approve of, granted), so we can either play nice and maybe even become friends or we just make it like we don’t exist for each other and move on with our lives. I’ll take it either way. And full disclosure, I have no ill intent towards you (or anyone else for that matter) at all. I hope you can at some point realize that life, with all the challenges it carries, is beautiful, and laughing at everything is the best way to live it. Additionally, believe it or not, your disgust for GrapheneOS has led ke to want to dig deeper into what they’re about, because I’ve taken their good intentions for granted, when in reality I have no way to tell if they have good intentions or not based solely on my current knowledge. So for that, I thank you.
