Wdym? Google Wallet won’t work, that’s correct, but if your banking app works and has a built-in nfc payments support, then you’ll be alright.

Zen looks good, but it isn’t hardened enough and I don’t wanna bother with hardening it myself with Arkenfox when I could just keep using Librewolf.
Not 100% up to date, of course, but for the most part, it still applies. And furthermore, trusting a company with that kind of reputation is definetely not a good idea.
more privacy focused browser
Librewolf is the best, Mullvad Browser is cool, if you use their VPN, ungoogled-chromium is good, if you need a chromium based browser. Despite its popularity among privacy-enthusiasts Brave is virtually a spyware.
I honestly don’t understand, why people are using VLC instead of mpv. Is there really any advantages?
First of all, lack of third party repos support locks you down behind only one source of applications. And second of all, because optionally free is not enough.
In a way, yes.
It depends. If we only mention security, then there’s (probably) nothing to worry about. However, if you look at it from the perspective of the FLOSS movement, Accrescent does not support any third-party repos, claiming that they are “breaking the Android security model”, and also allows submitting closed-source apps to the repo.
I’m so bummed that Accrescent is now part of the built-in App Store on GrapheneOS and is gaining popularity because of it.
Among modern devices, only Google Pixels support re-locking on custom ROMs, IIRC.
EDIT: Looks like, modern OnePlus devices can be re-locked too.
EDIT 1: Same goes for SHIFT6mq.
GrapheneOS
Google Pixels are the only options with this one.
No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan
Have you tried Spotube? It is a no ads YouTube Music client, that fetches your library from Spotify.
I can’t recommend you a specific device, but can suggest a Bootloader Unlock: Wall of Shame, which can help you choose a device, as you are planning to install a custom ROM, like Lineage. Best of luck with your device search!

Mull
Mull is Android only: https://divestos.org/pages/our_apps#mull.
Mullvad browser seems to be the best privacy wise.
Only makes sense if you use their VPN. Otherwise, there’s no real advantages over LibreWolf.
In the past they at least tried to pretend.
I use their mobile app and everything works like a charm.

Is there any plans on native mobile app? I am allergic to PWAs. Overall, good job!
Welp, better than nothing, right?
