That comparison shows "Deblobbed? Yes" for GrapheneOS. That implies they've replaced (most of) the blobs for wifi, bluetooth, 5g chips etc.

Is that actually true? It's such a big deal, and I see little to no work being done on this front.

Anyone have any idea what GrapheneOS actually deblobbed?

They can because they essentially support Google chipsets, which are not blobby like MediaTek or Qualcomm because Google for all its faults is still relatively open (except their recent change in release schedules is why the Pixel 10 series still only has experimental GrapheneOS support).

It's nowhere near that. Pretty sure even modules are signed by Google.
