MediaDRM identifier on GrapheneOS

Just a heads up for those who are using GrapheneOS. If you log into 2 (google or other) accounts on an installed app even on different profile, the service provider will still be able to link between your 2 accounts using MediaDRM. (Google will still know that both of the 2 accounts have been logged in on the same device)

    Was able to get a different result using the media DRM toggle in developer settings

    Verified results using TrustDevice

    https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.trustdevice.android

    https://www.trustdecision.com/

    The other identifiers remained.

    No appops or permissions change or prevent the exposure of other information.

    Not surprising

    I always assumed this was the case. Hence why you shouldn’t be using any apps beyond what’s strictly necessary and obviously avoid classic corpo slop anything like Facebook etc

      MediaDRM is used in bank apps as well, which is hard to avoid

        Browser can work but yeah there limitations like depositing checks.

        With that being said… Its a fucking banking app, it already has your PII. Sandbox mode limits what it can get off the phone at least
