Hence GrapheneOS sandboxing the Play Store. It is ironic that Google is the only phone manufacturer that allows for installing a different OS. But I suppose the fact that GrapheneOS has pushed security updates that have made it into stock Android and the fact that most users won't bother installing an alternative OS on their pixel phones is why they allow such shenanigans.
I use rooted LineageOS on my 4a 5G, though I do still have GApps on it. Next phone I buy I'm thinking I'll give GrapheneOS a try. Leaving behind my rooted system level adblocking would be difficult for me though.
In regards to ad blocking. My solution isn't as all encompassing as that, but for general web browsing, I use the Mull browser as you can install some addons like ublock and noscript. I'll admit though if you're looking to install advertisement heavy Play Store Apps though, I'd say maybe look into using a PiHole to adblock your home network?
Can users who use Google Fi switch too? Will call screening still work?
