I have a Pixel 6 with GrapheneOS but all opinions are welcome.

My choices:

1° Disable screenshot feature 2° Desktop mode

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.

2 and 3 are already supported in GrapheneOS.

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
