Privacy Pros:<\/strong> FOSS, no ads. Can be run in a VM to sandbox android applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy Cons:<\/strong> Utilizes some Google services to work. Runs on the kernel, which means it is not isolated from the host system like a VM or emulator is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Privacy Tips<\/strong>: You will need both Linux and Wayland to run Waydroid. When installing, use the default LineageOS install, rather than the GAPPS install to run a de-googled Waydroid. If running in a VM, use these commands to disable GPU accelaration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
