![]() ![]() I use the basic applications quite a lot (especially since they work quite well and I’m satisfied with them) because I also find it stupid to have to install a whole package of third party applications. Being “privacy by design” does not mean being “secure by design” however the vital minimum of security must be reached. The lack of updates of the various system applications and other webviews are very often pointed out, which I find normal. Otherwise folks will just disable default apps and install their upstream counterparts which seems silly (as in shouldn’t have I agree with you. When I finally decided to move up again, choosing between Q or R, I went with Q (mostly because F-Droid Privileged Extensions doesn’t work with R).Īnyhind, being able to update various default apps without having to update one’s OS, especially if you can’t (no future builds) or won’t (satisfied with Android version) makes sense to me. I stayed on Pie for a long time manually updating microG and webview (with Bromite’s) to stay pseudo current. The more Google takes away my freedoms to do what I want to do the more reluctant I become. I eventually did and Pie turned out fine but then I was even more reluctant to move up to Q or R. On my Essential PH-1 with /e/OS Nougat I was reluctant to move up to Pie. ![]() One upside I see is keeping some apps up to date without having to move up to another Android version or build. Something like a repo with regular / semi-regular updates of the default apps more inline with their upstream counterparts. As I and others have suggested, the browser and webview should be updatable outside of ROM updates. ![]() As alludes to, the issue is more about updates.
