giving the option to completely block attestation and DRM API would be a good start.

    > hardware attestation, which is not fingerprinting
this is false, the attestation middleman Google server can fingerprint your unique device serial (in-silicon key) whenever it wants.

the DRM situation is even worse as ANY app can fingerprint your device serial and I don't mean just the DRM ID. anyone who has a license server certificate can fingerprint the DRM key in-silicon.

if you were serious about privacy you would provide the option to completely disable that functionality in grapheneos. how many of your users are even aware that google can track them across factory resets (or anyone who has a license server certificate)?
