GrapheneOS to Break Free From Google's Chains



GrapheneOS to Break Free From Google's Chains

Take Control of Your Pixle Smart Phone with an Open OS




GrapheneOS is a 3rd party mobile OS with Android app compatibility developed to enhance privacy and security. It's designed to improve the privacy and security of the Android mobile OS from the bottom up.

Privacy and ads on mobile phones are becoming a big deal. As OS providers like Google and Apple begin implementing more ads into expensive mobile phones and selling your browsing habits for even greater corporate profits, replacing the entire operating system with one that's open-sourced and not tied to Google is a great way to fight back.


Privacy-Focused Pixel Phone GrapheneOS


By installing this open source OS on your Pixel mobile phone, it will run faster, is cleaner, and contains no additional Google clutter. It's also more secure. Because many Google services designed to serve you ads, track your activity, and take up valuable resources are not included and will not be installed.
