Sorry but you seem to be mixing up privacy and security a couple of times. Those are 2 different things.
As you suggested I tried to search about those security issues, but i could not find anything regarding indepent security audits. I would be interested in it, if you have the links.
This article from Golem is from 2020, so not sure if this is still up to date today. I could find something regarding the browser being an issue and the source from the app lounge.
Where are you forced to use the Murena Cloud? I did not have to make an account of anything. I created a folder for all their preinstalled apps and put them there, as they don’t look great. I heard there was an issue with TTS going to OpenAI, maybe you mean that.
To me after reading into degoogling the last couple of months, there seems to be an exchange of accusations going on between Graphene and e/OS. It might be because both support Google Pixel and they fear about market share.
In my opinion there is enough for both of them and this toxic behaviour is not helping anybody, just the two big ones Android and iOS. I really don’t like the toxic sound mainly coming from the Graphene community, that their solution is the only true one. Which to me seems a bit odd, when they still relying on Google. I am interested to see who their 2nd Hardware supplier will be in the future.
As I see it you can simply summarize it this way:
You want privacy without relying on Google --> e/OS
You want privacy and security but don’t mind using Google --> Graphene OS
For me I am currently using e/OS, as I don’t want to give google any money for a pixel. I might see if the prices drop for a cheap used one to try Graphene.
I am fully aware that e/OS is not as secure as Graphene, but I am no longer relying on Google. But to me this is the compromise I am willing to take.
