I actually just installed Arch on my gaming PC a few days ago. I've been testing out many games with it and I'm very happy with it. I was hesitant to switch from Windows because I wasn't sure if the game support would be an issue, but thanks to Proton, I finally switched.

No issues using an Intel CPU and Radeon GPU as of now, except the archinstall wasn't working for me so I had to do it the normal way.

Android System Webview allows apps to display browser windows in the app rather than taking you to your web browser app. On Android, chromium is used for webview. If you use Firefox as a default browser, the remote attack surface increases because they're two different browsers with different security issues.

Site isolation enforces security boundaries around each site using the sandbox by placing each site into an isolated sandbox. Firefox doesn't have that feature so they're vulnerable to attacks like Spectre.

I haven't been using Firefox for Android because I heard they don't have a WebView Implementation so the firefox browser has to be used beside the Chromium WebView meaning there's an attack surface of two browser engines. I also heard that the Firefox sandboxing and site isolation isn't very good between websites.

I've been using Vanadium WebView and browser because of that.

Yeah a lot of substantial improvements have been made to GrapheneOS in the last couple of years to expand app compatibility. There's Sandboxed Google Play now, as well as things like the exploit protection compatibility mode toggle so that people can use apps with memory corruption bugs which are caught by hardened_malloc if they wish to. Back in the day, apps with memory corruption would crash and there would be no way to use the until they fixed their app. They now have a toggle to disable hardened_malloc per app when you want to use it regardless.

How is GrapheneOS overkill? Its identical to the stockOS but hardened for privacy.
