Yo yo!
I have very little technical knowledge so please excuse any senseless mistakes.
I want a phone that I can use that is private and secure for the next couple of years. I understand that new android phones will be made differently so I can’t side load (whatever that means, I just know it is important). I have an iPhone 12 rn but I’d rather leave the iOS ecosystem. Rn I’m typing this message on a pixel 3.
Is a pixel 3 old enough to still be a safe and secure phone that I can side load apps on in the future?
Despite all of the critisism, I can vouch for murena with /e/OS.
Yes, you’re replacing one corporation with another but I naiivly believe that murena is less invasive than google or apple.
Phones come preinstalled and are ready to use out of the box with no hassle.
