GrapheneOS fixes several prominent device identifier leaks bypassing + Android's intention of apps not being able to uniquely identify a device. See + our FAQ sections on hardware + identifiers and non-hardware + identifiers for more general information.
+ +Our secure application spawning system + primarily exists to significantly improve protection against exploitation. + However, it also improves privacy. On a device without our secure application + spawning system, the secrets used for probabilistic exploit mitigations such + as ASLR are usable as device identifiers persisting until reboot. This is an + easy way to identify the device from apps in different profiles. It's a minor + bonus of the feature and there are still plenty of side channels to identify + devices across apps, but it fixes most of the known direct identifier + leaks.
+ +We also eliminate several holes in preventing apps from accessing hardware + identifiers including tightening up the restrictions for apps targeting legacy + Android platform versions.
+This is an incomplete list of other GrapheneOS features.
