Basic Information
crDroid is a customized fork of Android based on LineageOS.
crDroid:
** Android-based Operating Systems:**

Description
They claim increase privacy of our users with top-notch security options
Why I am making the suggestion
because of i think it's better than LineageOS and have support More mobile in list devices
My connection with the software
Just for the sake of mobile support and further security claims
List the main advantages of crdroid over Lineage OS. If this ROM is based on Lineage OS, why does it suddenly support more devices?
https://stats.crdroid.net/ so they do collect data on their users. There is a mention of a privacy policy but I cannot find it. Stats are not opt-in. Also wonder why they didn't contribute to Lineage-OS instead of creating yet another unofficial build.
I tried out crDroid on an old phone I had lying around in order to compare it to LineageOS (which I've used for about a year now). Here's my two cents on the pros and cons of crDroid, for what it's worth:
PROS:
NEUTRAL:
CONS:
Not to mean any offense (as I'm sure you have your reasons for submitting this software), but I fail to see the advantages that crDroid offers over LineageOS in regards to privacy and security. To be honest, most of the cons revolve around privacy and security, and the pros aren't particularly important for experienced users. For example, power users could just compile LineageOS from source if their device wasn't officially supported and apply customizations to their device through Xposed or Masigk.
Glad to see stats are opt-in unlike described in the legal section. I have high doubts about the trustworthiness of this ROM. The security problems described by @EIAWsWRm are huge. A ROM like that should not be used by an average user.
Policy FYI
https://crdroid.net/legal.php
I don't remember if USB Debugging comes enabled out of the box or not but there's always a confirmation dialog. Also once the permission been granted it still asks for confirmation after a while.
I settled on crDroid for my primary device about 2 years ago and I haven't needed to try out any other ROM.
