I’m currently using GrapheneOS and I quite like it, but I would like to switch to something else. Will I lose much privacy if I switch to e/OS? Can I lock bootloader after flashing it like on GrapheneOS? I’m using Pixel 7 btw

    Not sure if you can relock the bootloader

    Their site doesn’t include that info

    https://doc.e.foundation/devices/panther

    /e/ is a “degoogled” experience, but as noted on their site and by others here:

    Google Services are replaced by microG and alternative services (see below for more details)

    For a regular uninformed user like myself (I just use the stock ROM on my phone because I am stuck with it) I read that as:

    We made this experience as frictionless as possible at at a cost.

    The friction here would be banking and/or tap-to-pay apps that I think cause some issues for some people (please correct me if I am wrong).

    So, you would lose something that is offered by GrapheneOS and gain a different interface and access to apps that have a hard requirement for GSF.
