What do you think about the fact that Google Pixel phones are being confiscated in Spain if they have GrapheneOS installed?

What I think is that I should probably look into installing GrapheneOS on my Google Pixel.
You should, its honestly crazy how simple the installation process is
Check your banking app first, chances are it won't work on GrapheneOS.
Big false, most work just fine. They do often require the play store and services to work. Need to use the sandboxed Google services.
So, if you're trying to de Google, ya, banking apps won't work, but if you're okay with just increased control and privacy, in you're fine.
I'm a bit of a luddite in that respect, I don't trust apps for anything that important. I know, it's probably fine, and I probably should, but I don't. Just one of my weird hangups I guess.
You aren't alone. I also refuse to install apps like that. I also really hate it when companies don't have the option to not store my card or personal information.
I'm similar but I don't like the idea of someone swiping my phone and maybe being able to get into my payment apps so while I use online banking, I don't let it save my login information. Is kind of a birch to have to log in everytime, but makes me feel safer
Especially if you're a drug dealer.
