/e/OS is terrible for security. They are often 1-2+ monthly behind on monthly Android security patches, leaving their users vulnerable to dozens (i am not exaggerating, often more) of critical and high severity vulnerabilities which are widely exploited. Stay away from that shit.
Since Google now has moved to quarterly updates for older devices, this seems to obliterate that good ol' scare tactic used by some
Was good marketing though... for those who got caught up in it
Being 2 months late to a quarterly patch is still very bad. /e/OS should be avoided.
