Ultimately you can’t know everything. At some point you have to trust someone. The graphene people seem to know they are doing imo.

Because this will get .001% more total data considering the low number of GrapheneOS users. Besides, this is highly illegal and would result in significant public outcry and legal consequences far greater in cost than any potential benefits.
And if you cannot trust Google with their processors, you cannot trust any other company either.
And how do you know there aren’t hardware level trackers in Google’s chips? The kind Graphene can’t override? Do you trust Google not to do that?

Because all of that has stopped OEMs in the past…oh wait! No it hasn’t (looks at Lenovo)
