Lol, I think they asked for a firewall, not alternative OS
Oh, I thought they meant firmware.

I already have a pixel. Is it just as easy as installing Lineage OS on the phone?
Yes, perhaps even easier if you use a Chromium based browser with their WebUSB installer.
-
I did, as I said, by returning the phone xD
I think I also (unsuccessfully) tried ADB.

Even if it's not the case, I found the console installer to be surprisingly easy.

Firewalls are a great way to tell if new apps are secrely installed
Btw what is the key verifier thing?
Yeah, what is the key verifier thing? It's not like it's Windows and needs a purchased license key, right?

Google is automatically installing an app on you phone that analyzes your media „to prevent you accidentally viewing nudes”
Phew, I'm always terrified of that.

I'll he RethinkDNS for its firewall. It took me a while to work out how to use it (not very skillful at these things), but ever since, I've felt much safer. Rightly or wrongly

Note: The "Key Verifier" one is supposed to be tied to E2EE on Google chat platforms or something on those lines, although you shouldn't be using those and go for a safer chat instead though

It's for E2E encryption in chat apps.

Google's secret app that scans your photos for CSAM, but my firewall is configured to autoblock newly installed apps from internet access, thus the notification alerting me an app is trying to access the internet.
Nothing about the app is secret, Google openly advertises it

Absolutely the easiest phone OS installation I've ever done. Completely web-based and easy enough for anyone to use. Even easier than flashing LineageOS.
The big hurdle to GrapheneOS is can you do without Google Wallet and other apps that won't work. The flashing process isn't something to worry about IMO.

Which FW could be recommended?
TrackerControl

So glad I moved to GrapheneOS last month.
I struggle finding good OSs with my Fairphone 5.
For now I just removed all Gapps -

These are usually installed as core Google apps on Android, and most flavours have them hidden since they're really just background daemons/libraries.
Gf had the same happen on her Huawei P30 which clearly wasn't set up to have the apps hidden by default.
If youre degoogling obvs not what you wanna have on your device but technically they shouldn't be doing much on their own.

Does lichess work on graphene os? How is compatibility with classic stuff line firefox, signal, ...?
I had zero problems with either FF or Signal after the first weeks though I migrated over to Fennec and Molly as alternatives since then. Sorry, I can't help with lichess though I can say that my nonograms work fine. =P
