I want to degoogle by using GrapheneOS, but I have questions/concerns about functionality. Ease my mind and teach me?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/degoogle

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Shelter

    A Free and Open-Source (FOSS) app that leverages the "Work Profile" feature of Android to provide an isolated space that you can install or clone apps into.

    GrapheneOS does not include any native tracker blocking implementations. For such, I'd recommend DNS-based ad-blocking such as NextDNS. GrapheneOS does allow the creation of user profiles, which can isolate apps and their data between profiles. The same can be achieved with work profiles through Shelter.

  • linux-cli-community

    Linux command-line client for ProtonVPN. Written in Python.

    GrapheneOS doesn't change anything regarding VPNs. It is up to your VPN provider to support streaming services. Proton VPN has special servers dedicated to streaming on their paid plan. These servers have worked fine for me on Netflix.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • nextdns

    NextDNS CLI client (DoH Proxy)

    GrapheneOS does not include any native tracker blocking implementations. For such, I'd recommend DNS-based ad-blocking such as NextDNS. GrapheneOS does allow the creation of user profiles, which can isolate apps and their data between profiles. The same can be achieved with work profiles through Shelter.

  • Seedvault

    A backup application for the Android Open Source Project.

    There is Seedvault which allows to backup to a USB drive or cloud with end to end encryption.
