Hi guys I was thinking of installing either Calyx OS or Graphene OS on Pixel 7 I got from secondhand.

Meanwhile I was also wondering which one of these is most private but also best usable; Aurora Store or Google Play Mirror (Graphene OS) or Micro G?

Edit; Thanks for all info guys. I will take it into consideration and probably always first use F-Droid and web apps.

      Unfortunately a lot of apps are not on the FDroid stores which is why people, me included, rely on other stores.

      I always look at FDroid first but sometimes (hopefully less and less) the only apps (typically commercial ones, e.g. banking) are elsewhere.

        Use the websites whenever possible, instead of having to download another app, especially a commercial closed source one.

              Nice, hopefully they are aware that former clients are moving away from them because they don’t find their solution appropriate. I should do the same.
