      Molly is only available on Android, as far as differences it is a hardened fork of signal with an encrypted database, what that means in practice is even if someone was actively probing your phone to try to gain access to messages they wouldn’t be able to due to the encryption. It’s very useful if you are an active target or you don’t trust your phone os to play nice. I personally use it myself and really like it but in general it’s not terribly different.

      It has a completely FOSS version that is available on F-droid. It also implements a pin which signal removed for convenience.

      Its not available for ios

          For android Lineage os the best with F-droid as a app store.

          Many will disagree with me but Lineage os has the best support and is updated once a month. None of your privacy ROMs can compete with that

              True so don’t lose your phone. Its encrypted and you can use third party apps to auto wipe under certain circumstances

                the more third party apps you have, the higher your attack surface and a decrease in security. I love my mods but this isn’t really a solution and should be an os feature.

                    what is proprietary about a locked bootloader? the only android fork i can recommend is GrapheneOS. you relock the bootloader on that as well.
