Not really, GrapheneOS has a nice web installer that makes all the job for the user.

If a person needs to recommend a single app is because most people are tech illiterate and don't understand what protocols are, because no one tells them.

I can expect this from our parents and grandparents, but not from younger generations that were born with PCs and smartphones. They need to learn; we need to educate them. Otherwise they will stay being the perfect fodder for Big Corpos and their monopolistic tactics.

We need to start focusing on the protocols, not the platforms.

IMHO the only forks that actually add something meaningful are Floorp and Zen. I personally stick with Firefox with some user.js tweaks. Projects like Celenity's Phoenix shows that most forks are not necessary and you need to trust another party.
