Please help get the word out about what has happened with Copperhead. They're tricking people into buying an insecure product misrepresented as hardened. It isn't even updated to Android 9 and lacks full security updates. Pixels don't receive full security updates via Android 8.

AOSP 9 is already a good base. My work is on implementing further privacy and security improvements including features requiring compromises to performance, memory usage, etc. beyond what would be accepted in a mainstream operating system, at least by default.

The main weakness that's more and more glaring is the need to replace the Linux kernel with a microkernel. The progress on kernel exploit mitigations and particularly attack surface reduction in Android doesn't make up for it becoming increasingly complex with each release.
