If you look at CVEs in Android a lot of them are tied to proprietary Qualcomm binaries. Its crazy how your GPU driver can be exploited to get root access.

If Qualcomm wasn’t so dependent on their vendor kernel that ships with tons of binary blobs it would be lot more secure.

      You are right

      I meant this as reasons to use free software but it got lost in translation

        Yeah what you posted is literally the opposite of what I guess you were trying to say

        Its still worded as if libre software is the problem.

        “Closed source proprietary software is bad for security” or something - its the fact the code is unauditable is the issue
