      That number probably higher. However that changes nothing as we can’t control proprietary firmware blobs.

      Honestly there is no way of knowing anything about the security of those blobs. Firmware vendors can do whatever they want.

        The list of devices on Replicant OS is old and short. Proprietary blobs are a big issue for Android.

        They mean that the device manufacturer and or hardware vendors are no longer putting out updates for the proprietary blobs.

          I dont know if it even has to be proprietary. Vendors need to sign the firmware too.

          Yeah, really bad.

            That’s why we work to mainline devices. It is very hard and there are only a handful of devices that work with mainline Linux but it simplifies a lot of things.
