First off, that's software when the user asked for an alternative to the Pixel, which is hardware.

Secondly, I don't see how those are an alternative. It's websites locking you out unless you run Google Play Services. LineageOS etc doesn't run the official PlayServices which is what this requires.

I took the question as an alternative to Grapheme, but perhaps you are correct.

And all those OSes you could install. Google Play Services if you want, even sandbox them like Graphene.
