I have heard it has some security problems as well, which might be a big deal if your threat level is higher. At the same time, Aurora store works without google play services installed, doesn't that have some privacy benefits? I have heard that google play services in GrapheneOS has the same permissions as a regular app, however, I still feel the pull to be without them on my main profile and feel like I don't really get the implications of that. Maybe it collects less data but surely it's still a lot?

    to me it's pretty simple: Do you value privacy more than having easy access to "normal" apps? If yes, skip aurora store; if no, use aurora store.

    Anything more than that gets into putting in a bunch of effort and worry for not much benefit.
