There are functional firewall apps for android? Is Rethink good?

Provides a single process that can be used by all message apps so that they don't need to implement backdoors into all of them?

So glad I moved to GrapheneOS last month.

Yes, it also let you change your DNS and block websites. There's also invizible pro which also adds tor and i2p but rethink have a better UI.

Worried I'm getting a bit too paranoid, but...
Why backdoor the messaging apps when you can just monitor the entire OS?

Having control over the OS doesn't help if the OS doesn't understand the app's data.

Which FW could be recommended?

If only there was an AI that monitors everything going on on the device which they could force onto everyone

Rethink is better than good. It's great.

I uninstalled it on my Samsung last time and just checked but it hasn't reinstalled itself again (yet).

Got myself a Pixel 9 pro just to go Graphene... Sold my s24 ultra

... the OS doesn't understand the app's data.
I assume you are referring to End to End Encrypted (E2EE) messaging apps here. I'm no programmer/developer/software engineer and I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a ton about how most apps work on the backend. That being said, my understanding is that E2EE apps decrypt whatever is being transmitted to them when they get to your device (assuming phone here) (of course it would decrypt it, otherwise how would you make sense of the information?). Once the data is on your phone, it is decrypted. From what I understand, sandboxing apps is not all that robust on Android (at least on "mainstream" versions)
Therefore, the data that was Encrypted from End to End was decrypted at the End and therefore accessible by other applications and processes on your phone. Unless Android sandboxing has improved greatly in the last few weeks.

LineageOS or /e/OS would be my picks. Graphene and Calyx are better, but likely don't support the device in question.
RIP DivestOS.

Applications like signal are encrypted at rest on your device as well - https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/277330/how-does-signal-protect-data-on-the-device-from-unauthorized-access

Google is automatically installing an app on you phone that analyzes your media „to prevent you accidentally viewing nudes”

Does lichess work on graphene os? How is compatibility with classic stuff line firefox, signal, ...?

I play Lichess on my GrapheneOS Pixel6a, works well. Same with Signal, Firefox with several mobile browser extensions.
Bitwarden, NewPipe, Tailscale, Duolingo, Uber, Discord, Matrix Element, all the Proton mobile apps, Backblaze, etc etc.
Pretty much every app I try works flawlessly. On rare occasion I'll experience minor bugs, and twice I've had to use GOS's extra privilege mode to get an app to work.
Overall, Love GrapheneOS and I'll use them as long as they are around and making an awesome alternative to Google's garbage.
