I am a GOS user, it just works, so I don't really think about it. It's very nice to have storage and contact scopes.
My only complaint is I can't share a VPN over hotspot or tethering, which is very useful for a travel router device (to make all traffic look like it's coming from the phone). (Lineage and calyxos have this)
What about the network permission?
Network permission is godly. App you need or want but don't trust that shouldn't be allowed to phone home? Fixed.
I wonder why such a powerful permission isn't available to everyone 🤦♂️
