I'll happily continue using my GrapheneOS Pixel since nothing will change for 3d-party ROMs :)
Until it does. Google is already closing development, so the GrapheneOS devs will have a more difficult time rebasing their changes to AOSP each snapshot.
Not exactly. GrapheneOS has an OEM partner and has early access to AOSP changes that aren't public. A huge downside to that is that security preview releases can't be open source until after Google makes the code public.
Well, that's not a huge downside. They still provide those security updates in their binary builds.
Fair enough. I said "huge" because I guess some people care a lot. I personally don't and have been on security preview releases since they started releasing them.
