It seems like they're taking Android in a Qubes-like direction.

Yes, please. I'd love to separate Facebook, Google, Amazon, etc. apps into separate domains. As I'm doing with web apps via Firefox containers.


I don't think Google is doing this to give you more privacy. They have every incentive to do the exact opposite.

Ps Firefox containers are great indeed and I use them for the same reasons. But I doubt this is the intended usecase for this. I don't see Google investing a ton of money to build something that will hurt their bottom line.


You're probably right, but the fact that underlying technology will be present may be used by someone to implement it.

Like in the case of the Shelter app.
