Might not be the same, but they do partner with Murino to offer an /e/os degoogled alternative.

That's cool. At least its degoogled. GOS's security is a must for me though, after using it I don't ever want to go without. But I'm glad fairPhone is offering alternatives.

To be fair, it does have a big security emphasis. I don't know enough about either /E/OS or GOS to know how they compard but /E/OS does some cool things like sandboxing apps etc for security.

It's a useful comparison, but biased. The fact that it gives "all green" to the GrapheneOS choice of using actual Google Play though sandboxed, while MicroG is all red... Is hard to defend. So you have to actually read the whole thing instead of just looking at the colors.

Also, it's somewhat outdated.

The /e/OS I'm writing from now has an alternarive network location provider, built in UnifiedPush support, and it passes Basic Integrity, at least since December last year.
