Im considering buying a new phone and i don't really consider a Pixel. I really like Fairphones approach, with the self repairable stuff. Even though they don‘t have a headphone jack. But well… I can’t change it. I’ll definitely go with the adapter over wireless headphones.

But to my question: What private OSes are there? Fairphone sells FP4s with eOS, how is that? And does it work on the FP5? GrapheneOS only works on Google Pixels right?

If you don't want to give money to Google, why not take money from Google?

Then, once you've offset enough money, then you can buy a Pixel at an overall loss on Google's side.

@HEXN3T
Does this create the risk of exposing users to adclick exploits?

I didn't encounter anything personally after using it for nearly a year. It does risk fingerprinting if you use it on a browser like Mullvad since the different activity will stick out a lot.
