I have a newer Pixel phone and I'm comfortable installing and running custom ROMs from doing so regularly back in the day - for those who've daily driven both, what are the reasons I should NOT switch from the stock OS to GrapheneOS?
You can't use Google Wallet to pay with NFC, they don't have Miracast, and Chromecast can supposedly work butI haven't been able to get it to work. Those are the three major hurdles I've found, but getting away from Google was a priority so I'll live without them.
NFC can have other providers other than Google Wallet, but I haven't found any that I find trustworthy enough yet. Supposedly the EU is making an alternative.
I think this is about what I've heard to date on drawbacks, by as you mentioned, I think I'll take the chance for the privacy benefits.
