Yes, but I never said you won’t get pwned. I said that it would limit how it could be done and what damage it could do.
For instance, if you click a link and download something shitty, it can’t just steal your auth tokens on GrapheneOS because all of that is isolated to only the program that uses them. Meanwhile on Windows/Linux there are tons of Python scripts that do that. It would take extra steps on GrapheneOS for someone to use social engineering to hack someone’s Discord/Bank/etc account, which could be enough to prevent it for some people.
