It's ironic that arguably the best way to de-Google a phone is to get a Pixel and use GrapheneOS.

You're still using a platform upon which Google has an enormous influence, including making life much more difficult for projects like GrapheneOS. And I think it's only a matter of timer before they'll take more aggressive measures.

Btw, I am not saying one should or shouldn't use a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

Until the Motorola deal sees fruition, Pixels are the only way to use GrapheneOS. I don't think that using GrapheneOS makes the project more difficult.
