Thats true

😂😂😂😂

Yo big facts, governments, police forces are literally using bloatware against us and doing dirty cop work to get their info on their targets..

Ahmed el tantay agrees

Unfortunately

technically, anyone don't need any security programs. it's all on the user on whether can the user avoid such vulnerabilities

@@reyynerp Drive-by malvertising disproves this.

how would a malware enters the system without the user interacting? even turning on a computer/electronic device is counted as interacting afaik.

@@reyynerp thats a one of the most moronic statements I've seen.

Soon AI will prevent human error. It will stop you from clicking phishing links, connecting to malicious dapps etc

It was a great journey doing the research

So browsers aren't as secure on degoogled phones?

They aren't less secure in terms of vulnerability to malware. Some are even more secure in that sense like Vanadium on GrapheneOS. In terms of authentication, there is no open-source FIDO2 implementation for Android as far as I know. Until that happens you can just not use it. For example it allows to use secure login keys from external devices, that are specifically made for this use case. It hardens against ID theft. Some governmental IDs will be based on this standard or at least support it.

@@neur303 thanks for replying. I was interested because I am planning to use my old phone without any Google services and this would have been a big issue. But fortunately I don't need FIDO2

​@@neur303firefox???

My bank, after so many years, is now asking to turn off developers options. Have to look for am alternative bank as this was a huge annoyance. Sadly, I expect others to do the same thing. Too bad this BS still won't protect those dumb enough to open phising links or entertain obvious scammers. 😢

Nexus 5 got that same treatment too from what I remember. Some scandal involving Qualcomm, I think?

Yeah depends on your brand. Samsung and Google are crushing it

Samsung and Google give monthly update..

samsung giving 4 year security updates on $150 samsung A14. thats cheap.

@@GH0STST4RSCR34M It's true for all devices that connect over the network. The rest is just marketing.

​@@GH0STST4RSCR34MI mean if the security updates arrive multiple times in a month, then yeah you're probably right

Other way around, ios has significantly less vulnerabilities than android even on CVEs

@@Blackbeard914 I'd still not trust their ecosystem if shit goes down... One of the most easily manipulated tech in the market where u can't do anything except throw it away. Android u can skin the entire thing, cut it up and make it ur own meat atleast. Better whenever the fk I like.

​@@Blackbeard914well that's quite obvious since Android is open-sourced unlike Apple 😂

Condolences

I’m a happy iPhone user

Be proud

Yes sir

​@@luffywestwell, watch the video and you'll know

@@luffywest get rid of Google play services, say goodbye to Google's added security. If the user isn't aware of what they're doing they're in trouble

​@@BradleyLarcher sadly microg is still far from complete

Hear me out on this, why do we need “Google” play services for security updates, why can’t it be “OEM” play services. The only thing Google play services does is gives back control of an open platform to Google when in fact the approach should’ve been to give it to OEM who sells you the device so you can choose who to share your data with. Google play services is anti competitive because there is no other app (from any OEM) that has the power Google play services does. Sure you can argue Samsung game services is bad but it doesn’t come remotely close to play services with the amount of privilege it gets. I’m all for android but not for Google specific android

@@AraibShafiq smaller Android OEMs are less likely to patch things is why. Google Play Services come from Google and make it easier to patch apps from the developer. This is why developing on Linux is a pain in the ass.

True if you can do that and still keep Play Services etc!

​@@XDAVideodon't want that if you value privacy.

It's possible to remove apps, even if they don't have an uninstall button, using ADB, even if your device is not rooted

I think with android 14 you would be able to remove them without adb

Fair point but the basement jackass probably wouldn’t be able to afford something like Pegasus 😬

The manufacturer decides which apps can or cannot be removed when shipping the device. You should probably not be allowed to delete system components off of the OS. It also has nothing to do with security. Unimportant system apps can be disabled from the settings, and if you know what you are doing you can use ADB to delete system apps. The manufacturer is responsible for updating the OS for your phone, and the chip maker also needs to update the OS for your chipset as well before that. The manufacturer decides for how long to provide images for your device. You cannot simply install any OS you want onto your device, because the image needs to be built specifically for your device's unique hardware. Custom ROMs are third party system images built for your device, so technically you can update your OS manually, but it's much more complicated than that. In the end, thanks to Android's modularity, you do not need to have the latest version of Android to stay secure. As long as you have a version from 4.4 KitKat and beyond, you are safe. No jackass in a basement can compromise your device. Only big groups of extremely sophisticated hired security experts continually researching security exploits targeting selected individuals can do such a thing, and the chance you'll get compromised in such a way is zero. (actually not 0 but you get the point yeah)

@@aquaponieee ADB can’t delete system apps. They’re removed just from the user partition, they remain on the system partition but disabled as adb can’t modify the system which is read-only and can be modified only with root access.

It is not locked yet. It's simply harder to access.

Custom roms are definitely are better for the phone and its owner. Especially if you are privacy concerned. I would flash any rom on my phone without gapps. Instead of using gapps i'd use microg or nothing at all and if you can live without google services or apps.

​@@sly412 will most app break without any type of play services implementation?

@@bot-h2h Usually banking apps and email push notifications require google services. Even proton mail push notification doesn't work with google services framework. Otherwise everything else working fine. Microg is a good option for play services and push notifications

@@bot-h2h there are work arounds now to use banking apps on custom roms but for security use a normal phone and a degoogled phone separately.

We're losing microsd cards too alomg with headphone jacks. And surprisingly, not only are consumers OK with this, they also heavily defend the corporations that do this. Specifically Samsung witht the amount of backtracking that they did with said features.

which phone?

Pegasus will put their so called security to shame

You got a brain?

A reason to root is wanting freedom looking at android bloatware….

Nobody cares about such open source dreams.

@@okaro6595 I do. I worked on the original open source android project and fixed the horribly bugged USB Host interface, unpaid (back in the ICS days). People still herald Android as being a "superior" and "more open" platform, but every modern app is handicapped by needing Google Play services to run.

It's slow because it doesn't release globally. A few regions first then the rest. That's his point.

@@aaliyahunsung832 I don't see a problem in that unless you are totally excluded or ignored like it happens in other small matters like for example in Google Translate (I live in the country were the 5th most spoken language in the world was born and G.T can't translate for tens or hundreds of languages but not to mine why, because the population of the biggest country in the world who speak it is 150k and we only have 10k .... 🤑 ...💲...💰)

@@aaliyahunsung832 and manufacturers. Some are slower than others and even some models get this updates later than others.

Android is a stolen product

@@Stricks823With iPhones the updates go out to all supported devices right away. It’s a different story with android.

95 precent of people don't know how to root there phone or install custom roms

​@@lesleyhaan116and when exactly did the comment you're replying to or the video mention custom ROMs

@@aquaponieee the original comment says you can do more with android and i said 90 precent of smartphone user will do those things like installing launchers custom roms

@@L-ananas-De-La-Fete agreed, and not everyone can do it either, unlike android.

Android security was always better than iOS when it comes to critical vulnerabilites. Have a look at the CVEs for both platforms.

🤣🤣

cause android is trash apple don't play that

Because with Android u can do whatever u want, but with Apple not

roblox_oof.wav

Soo what do you think about iPhones having even more control over the device then? It's what they have to do, not just one of them.

@@itsPoliswirl both are pretty invasive on privacy I can just say after reading this research that I’m more afraid of Google If you dig deep into both devices settings then you can protect your privacy a bit more on an iPhone than on a Pixel But on default settings both are scary Both collect a crazy amount of personal data Here is the research in case you’re interested: www.scss.tcd.ie/doug.leith/apple_google.pdf
