I have a Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS but all opinions are welcome.
My choices:
1° Disable screenshot feature 2° Desktop mode
Installing apps without having to deal with Google or shady app stores.
Aurora store (google-dependant but at least it's anonymous) and f-droid exist
You can install apps without Google Play the problem is that Google services has a lot of privileges in the system and many useful apps relies on Google Play services to work.
-
Education regarding advertising ID and its deletion presented during setup (consent).
-
Addition of internet permission on per-app basis. Just like notifications now, every new downloaded app must get your permission to use the internet, else work in offline mode.
-
Give permission to only selected media to apps rather than everything. This is such a security risk, one bad app and it can steal whatnot.
I know. I was going to buy a Pixel 7 for it but the G2 processor runs pretty inefficiently thanks to Samsung's 4nm process, as compared to something like the 8+ Gen 1. It's pretty weak in comparison as well. So I ended up getting a Nothing Phone 2 and manually degoogled it, swapped everything with their open source counterparts. Not full proof I know, but my threat model is escaping big tech surveillance and living an ad-free life which is more or less getting satisfied xD
Im pretty sure this feature is from the upstream lineageOS, for those without a pixel
