So which on of these are better for my pixel 7a if we consider these:

i dont care about leaving the bootloader unlocked

i want customization to my os as long as this is possible

i hate google so i dont want any google things or google spyware (i dont use any google service)

i need push notifications for some apps (maybe microg or sandboxed google play services)

i dont use esim or google pay so idc about these

i need A LOT of privacy and security to my data to the point that i want to block trackers for any app i use

i wanna use google camera as it is in stock rom but i dont want google spy shit. if i use a firewall would be ok?

Note: i can sacrifice locking the bootloader and customization for my privacy/security/not having spyware on my phone

Thanks in advance!

Edit: i just saw that there is iodé (which sees app trackers and i found it interesting) plus CopperheadOS Edit 2: THANK YOU ALL A LOT, your answers are the best, imma go with grapheneos and donate them also cause their job is the best

also i found this matrix for oses that helped me: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm !!!

    GrapheneOS only publishes updates for devices with active security updates. Your device is EOL and therefore won’t receive any further mainline updates. It still will receive extended support from the Android 14 legacy branch with whatever security patches arrive in upstream AOSP, but unlikely to see device-specific patches nor firmware patches. Your device isn’t getting the same care and attention that active devices are receiving nor will it receive any future versions of Android through GrapheneOS.
