I'm pleased to learn that GrapheneOS (and, presumably, similar things, like LineageOS) won't be directly affected by Google's apparent attempt to seize Apple-like control over what apps you're allowed to install on your Android phone, and to extract economic rents (and personal information) from app developers.
If you own a recent enough non‒carrier-branded Pixel, I'd encourage you to install GrapheneOS on it. If you don't, and can afford a second-hand Pixel once every five years or so (the Pixel 8a, for example, has security support promised till at least May 2031), I'd encourage you to get one in order to put GrapheneOS on it. (Yes, ironically, I am recommending Google-branded phones in order to escape Google's attempted app gatekeeping.)
If you can't afford a Pixel, see if you can find another phone you can install another operating system on, like LineageOS. (You might already have one.)

So how far have you got on actually open-sourcing all the software you distribute?

This sounds like good news! Will this release be added to Debian's bullseye-backports?

I think I've already turned off the AI summaries and filtered out AI images in normal DuckDuckGo's settings. Does this version do anything extra, or is it just an easy way to set those settings, plus some branding?
