This guide is by a Canadian author, but I find it very appropriate here as most of his solutions are European and he points to several alternatives, so all in all a great source of inspiration.

As far as I recall, if you're an ordinary everyday user, Fairphone should be fine - but if your threat model is too severe, a used Pixel (cleant) with GrapheneOS should be warranted, no?

I dropped it as a daily driver when I noticed that Here We Go maps just naturally circumvents their advanced privacy location spoofing. Tested this with two devices and the issue appeared in both. Maps showed my real location.

Graphene might be a bit overkill for me, but I rather am too careful than rely on false advertising and leak real information unknowingly.

Yeah, I have that problem in my /e/OS 3.4 A15, and another one, also a failure of the main feature, privacy protection, this time with file permissions:

You shouldn't blame the whole forum when a dumbass goes off topic in a thread - it happens. Your title was clear, and the topic was clearly the privacy of /e/OS, one example application as proof of /e/OS's failure, and the dumbass started talking about the example application and alternatives to it...
