GrapheneOS is an Android-based, open-source, privacy and security-focused mobile operating system[2][3] for selected Google Pixel line of smartphones.

History

See also: CopperheadOS § History

The main developer, Daniel Micay, originally worked on CopperheadOS until a schism between the co-founders of Copperhead Limited in 2018.[4][5] After the incident, Micay continued the development of CopperheadOS as well as the Android Hardening project.[3][4][6] Later in 2019, the Android Hardening project rebranded as GrapheneOS.[3][6]

In March 2022, GrapheneOS released Android 12L for Pixels before Google did.[7] GrapheneOS applications Secure Camera and Secure PDF Viewer were released to the Google Play Store.[8]

Eigenschaften

A variant of the Chromium web browser (named Vanadium) hardened by GrapheneOS is built-in.[4][a]

Compatibility

GrapheneOS supports the most recent smartphone models in the Google Pixel product line until they no longer receive updates from Google.[4][9][dubious – discuss]

Reception

In 2019, Georg Pichler of Der Standard, and other news sources, quoted Edward Snowden saying on Twitter, "If I were configuring a smartphone today, I'd use Daniel Micay's GrapheneOS as the base operating system."[10][11][12] In discussing why services should not force users to install proprietary apps, Lennart Mühlenmeier of netzpolitik.org suggested GrapheneOS as an alternative to Apple or Google.[13] Svět Mobilně and Webtekno repeated the suggestions that GrapheneOS is a good security- and privacy-oriented replacement for standard Android.[14][15] In a detailed review of GrapheneOS for Golem.de, Moritz Tremmel and Sebastian Grüner said they were able to use GrapheneOS similarly to other Android, but enjoying more freedom from Google, without noticing differences from "additional memory protection, but that's the way it should be."[b] They concluded GrapheneOS cannot change how "Android devices become garbage after three years at the latest"[c], but "It can better secure the devices during their remaining life while protecting privacy."[d][4]

Notes

  1. ^ Dort geht es eher beschaulich zu: Neben den Standard-Android-Apps zum Telefonieren und SMS-Versenden finden wir eine Kamera-App sowie den Browser Vanadium vor. Letzterer basiert auf Chromium, der von den Graphene-Entwicklern gehärtet wurde.
  2. ^ Die Google-Freiheit genießen wir, von dem zusätzlichen Speicherschutz bekommen wir nichts mit, aber so soll es ja auch sein.
  3. ^ Daher werden die meisten frisch eingeführten Android-Geräte aus einer Sicherheitsperspektive spätestens nach drei Jahren zu Müll.
  4. ^ Es kann die Geräte während ihrer verbleibenden Laufzeit besser absichern und gleichzeitig die Privatsphäre schützen.
