I don’t really understand this stuff super well, but… I suspect what it means is that Google can track you while google maps is open, BUT since it doesn’t have access to the rest of your phone, they’ll have no idea who you are anyway?

If I’m understanding correctly, this sounds just about exactly how GrapheneOS works by default. All GPlay apps work and have notifications, but are sandboxed.

This is so depressing… I’d been seeing it in effect but I didn’t know all the context. We need more and better alternative search engines, like Stract.

EDIT: Actually, are any of the searXNG instances including Stract yet?

Ooooh including the keyboard?? I’d really like that.

…no, no, I totally get it, this makes perfect sense actually. The bard could hurt my feelings, which is way worse! I’ll take the tall buff person choking me 👀
