@inpc Once you’ve installed Graphene, put it in the microwave full-power for a few minutes. It’ll make a lovely smell too. #PrivacyTips

OK, I have a Pixel 8, now all I need to do is... install Graphene OS, disable the camera, disable the audio, disable the screen, disable SMS services, disable the internet, disable the battery, remove the screen, disable the connection that enables adding a new screen, throw away the SIM and finally bury at the bottom of the garden and I'm good to go!

0-2 YES = Don't trust this app

You don't need to understand encryption.
You just need to know what questions to ask.

First up! Our top tip for everyone starting to care about being tracked online is to install a content blocking extension in their browser, and the best choice is uBlock Origin.
