Sandboxed Google services on grapheneOS.

The mark of the beast.

(Also, when do we do a google antitrust again?)

MicroG requires signature spoofing, which Graphene deliberately does not support. It is more secure to run the real Play services in a sandbox that forces it to be a userland app than to run MicroG as a privileged system app with spoofing.

Oh, I didn't know that, thanks.

Saying signature spoofing for all ROMs is less secure is misinformation, see CalyxOS's explanation: https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/microg/#is-microg-a-security-risk-in-calyxos-because-it-requires-signature-spoofing
