#privatespace — Public Fediverse posts

Before anyone takes this as a discussion point pro #iOS...

A few counterarguments on #LocalMess (#Facebook #Instagram #Yandex #LocalhostTracking), why this would make #Android worse than #iOS:

This vulnerability seems to only have existed on Android, but not everyone would need to be affected by it.

I see #GrapheneOS as a perfected form of the Android idea (stripping the #Advertising and Tracking from it, and adding needed extensions to the permission system).

1. #AdBlock and #Tracking Blocking on Android is easy.

Use a Browser like #Ironfox with #UBlockOrigin in advanced mode, and block known tracking Javascript that way.

Solved, no #Metapixel, #GoogleAnalytics, #YandexMetrica, #CloudflareInsights and whatever else exists out there. It is blocked from loading or executing, so it can't listen on your localhost either.

2. Disabling apps

Android has 3 ways to isolate and disable apps. Note that due to this working on localhost, and all user profiles sharing the same localhost, the isolation is worthless here. Only the ability to disable apps is of value.

A: User profiles. Only nice to use on GrapheneOS, but they need barely any storage space and offer the strongest isolation. All data is separately encrypted too so using the same Pin is fine (if your threat is not people seeing your pin)

B: The #PrivateSpace. A new Android feature which allows having a separate nested profile within the main one. You can enable it in the settings, enable auto-lock when turning off the screen, add other restrictions. You can toggle it on and off in the app drawer.

C: The #WorkProfile. This is a pretty old feature, intended to grant your employer control over a nested user profile, but giving you the control to turn it on or off.

When using it alone you need a companion app like #Shelter or #Island, and due to the design this app has full potential control over that profile (so it should be really trusted!).

Work profiles take up a lot of space, but integrate the best into the system (easily accessible, icons can be placed on the home screen).

D: Disabling apps. Android only supports this for system apps. GrapheneOS also allows this for any app but the UI is not great (Androids fault), as apps disappear from the home screen and app drawer. They can be enabled again in the settings.

#CalyxOS has a nice toggle that is very easy to use. Apps do not disappear from the homescreen but appear disabled. This is the easiest way to stop apps from running.

---

GrapheneOS also has support for "private spaces" within separate user profiles, which makes the switching faster and easier.

All these nested or separate profiles use the same localhost (local network), but by turning them off you can fully disable the apps that would serve the cookies used for this method.

3. (Progressive) #Webapps.

While iOS has blocked this feature for years, locking developers to their pricey and walled #AppStore, on Android every Website in your browser can be used like a native app.

#Meta ironically blocks this aggressively, locking Video Playback and more to "their App™". Other apps like #GoogleMaps, #TikTok or #Shitter annoy you with popups, and offer often reduced versions, but they work.

Normal websites like #Discourse forums work just fine.

Webapps are WAY more isolated, cannot and execute random code, everything goes through your browser and the blocklists and restrictions you control.

Using only one of these isolation methods will break any future exploit with this method.

They allow Android users to restrict, disable or confine untrusted apps.

GrapheneOS stays secure and private.

Hopefully the "app disabling" from Calyx will be included soon.

#PWAs

Google should let people who use the multiple users feature add private space as well.

draft - Will private space be allowed on multiple users? - search topic

https://www.google.com/search?q=Will+private+space+be+allowed+on+multiple+users

Or better worded:

Will Android 15 private space be able to be set up on multiple users?

For example, if I have a userA+userB setup, where I generally avoid logging into userB when in userA and vice versa, it would be nice to use private space to login to userB from userA in the private space, but it'd also be nice to be able to setup private space with userA when I'm logged into userB.

the linux version of chrome is essentialy private space for chromeOS, because its essentially a version of the chrome browser that's *not* tied to the operating system itself.

this was not the case with lacros, which, while allowing multiple chrome profiles, was still tied to the os.

and that is why, i think, google should legitimately make and maybe market something more like *that* as a "thing".

it's better than lacros.

draft - it seems that private space can only be used on one user in the android15 beta. Is this going to be fixed/addressed ? thank you.

installing linux version of chrome browser on chromeOS via the terminal

1:

"wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb" (without the quotes)

2:

sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

3. Fix Dependencies: If you encounter any dependency issues, use the following command:

sudo apt-get -f install

#linuxchromebrowser
#chromedebian
#debianchrome
#chromebook
#linuxchromeonchromebook

this is essentially android 15 private space but for chromeos (a separate partition inside of a single user space, in addition to the actual multiple user profiles which are better but sometimes you need access to a separate user space while inside of a single user space)

so i could add the hashtag

#privatespacechromebook

obviously actual user profiles are better than private space, but sometimes you need to access one of those user profiles inside of a single user space

#privatespace
#android15
#android15privatespace

for example, my premium gemini account is attached to userB.

"Apple's Privacy Team Does Deep Dive Into iOS 18 Privacy Features"

alright. Can we get multiple user profiles for completely separate user spaces ?

Multiple Users is better than private space

draft - Google, can we please get 8 users for the multiple users + private space functionality on pixel? I had four users set up, so that's why the android 15 beta 3 wasn't allowing me to do private space, I think. When I deleted a user, that's when private space setting seemed to show up. So I made a private space. And guess what, that counts as a user.

When I went back to the multiple users settings, it said I had reached the max users.

Which is kinda sad. So, google, could you please increase users to 8 so that each user can enable private space?

Android15 beta 3 - Private space is missing for me. For me, there is still one tab saying "Security & privacy", and the option is not there.

When I type private space in the search bar on the home screen, I don't find it there.

When I search within settings, I don't find it there either. any help / any tips for me? thank you.

draft - i'm downloading the android 15 beta 3 onto my pixel 8 and my pixel 6a. looking forward to trying out private space. i kinda wanna go back to google chat, but i have been doing microsoft teams, partly because i have a multiple users setup and so, when i log into one user, i avoid logging into another user to avoid cross account data leakage, so private space should help to alleviate the issue where, when i'm logged into the userB, i can use private space to access google services from userA, while still staying in the userB space, keeping the data between the users separate.
