Somewhat related: is there any way to bypass screenshot blocking in Android without root? Used to be able to do it with Scrcpy, but that doesn't work anymore...


GrapheneOS doesn't allow for it. You'd need a rooted device to bypass screenshot blocking


Well damn, I would have thought rooting would have been a basic feature of GrapheneOS.

At least it's open source, so maybe one can add root access and screenshot blocking to it.


GrapheneOS is concerned with security more than anything else, to which rooting is completely counterproductive


Correction: GrapheneOS is concerned with their so called "Android security model" more than anything else, and where that security model gives guarantees to app developers and service providers that harms the user's security, they merrily side with the developer's security against the user, at best give some more or less questionable reasons why that unfortunately currently cannot be changed, and at worst insult you for suggesting anything else.


I would think that rooting is not counterproductive. In fact my personal security model requires root access.

1. I need to be able to monitor what's inside the memory and communications of every process running if I want to

2. I need to be able to pin a different root certificate, install a MITM SSL proxy and see what every app is sending about me, if I want to


They can still log what sites you're visiting by inspecting the SNI of your TLS handshakes


How is the rooted experience these days? Do you deal with broken (banking) apps all the time?


I don't use banking apps, my banks have websites that work. Last time I tried to add my bank card to the Google wallet, it worked for a few days and then stopped. I've had a few apps that refuse to run but then worked fine with magisk.

For me, root on my own devices is a matter of principle. If an app doesn't work, then I don't want it. In the future I might carry a gimped android device for essential things like train apps if I have to, but then it won't be the device I actually carry in my pocket, it'll be in my bag. Mobile computing is for me.


Is there a consensus on what can be blocked in LuLu/LS without breaking any functionality?


How would one do that?


This is so simple and yet so useful!


It's something that you never use on a daily basis. Very easily forgotten...


Copyparty!


I love Kagi, but it is soooo slow compared to Google. Really annoying...


You mean the search results are loading slow? I’ve sometimes noticed that, but not really to a degree that it was significantly worse than Google.


The whole page loads slow as compared to google. To the point it's annoying. I'm in Europe though.
