The beauty of Graphene is it's sandboxing and exploit protections are built precisely on assumption that the user will install every single piece of malware out there. The OS doesn't trust anything by default.
And they function normally in this sandbox? I'm assuming sandbox is just compartmentalization. I'm interested in these mainly because when I use an app, browser, whatever... I want it seeing only what I give it with regular use, I don't want it digging through my contacts, messages, location, microphone, other programs, yada yada. Instagram should only see what I'm scrolling. The play store should only see what I choose to download.
Yes.
GOS has compatibility issues, but they are unrelated to the sandbox and can be fixed with some tweaking.
