I already looked at /e/, a degoogled Android ROM a while back, but now, it's time to try something closer to stock Android, with added privacy: @iode.

Not only does it give you a fully open source experience in terms of apps, but it also blocks all trackers and ads by default, in all apps, with a stock Android experience.

Let's take a look at how it compares!

@thelinuxEXP @iode a couple of big flaws for me at least in the US is that deGoogled ROMs don't support my banking and usually strip support for hardware 2fa keys like NitroKey or Yubikey, does Iode have this support? I'm seriously considering switching to an iPhone at this point.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt @thelinuxEXP @iode why would you swap from a deGoogled device to a device with even higher walls and the same lack of privacy? 🤔

@justinz never underestimate the need for things to just work. As the majority of my apps are open source and privacy focused and already have a NAS running cloud replacements issues with the OS are minimized. But the shattered state of deGoogling leads to way too many compromises in user experience. I'm keeping a close eye on Linux phones though they aren't quite ready yet.
