I agree. Maybe the Sailfish operating system can be added instead?

I haven't tried Sailfish or CopperheadOS.

I have tried CopperheadOS and it was quite a tough experience getting it to run on my mobile phone.
It also only support a few devices, I believe about 3 devices? It does however deserve a spot as it is the best android fork security wise.

Sailfish OS is not an Android fork and is less commonly used and has not had such a wide exposure to security review, something which Android has been subject to over the years.

@kewde about security you are definitely right. Sailfish OS has not gained a big user base therefore the probability of security flaws is higher.

I was wondering about the privacy of Sailfish OS since it being open source and being developed outside of the US, maybe it might a candidate for a "Worth Mentioning"
