They have web app but had terrible experience with it (can't find devices when you are using the mobile app and the other device is using the web app).

Your question doesn't make sense, GrapheneOS said that they prefer spending their time implementing and fixing security issues rather than things that can be easily changed from open source offerings. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47247778.

>Framework. vPro Enterprise Framework devices actually meet HSI level 4, but they unfortunately do not handle firmware updates properly. They have not shipped a single firmware for their 13th generation over a year since its release date, and over 6 months since the disclosure of LogoFail. While they do ship some updates for other devices, how they have been handling so far is not acceptable if you need a secure device.

VPN's DNS server from reputable service from here https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/. I should have tried visiting this website using Tor browser too at that time, archive.today doesn't even load for me right now using my VPN...

It is now redirecting to a page that is owned by 5oh.ru, this is not the first time this happened btw, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43490423.

Sad to see this happens as it performs much better than archive.org

Thanks for sharing, this is the first time I hear about LxReader.

The UI is so good, from quick look on LxReader's play store page, the UI is a bit basic.
