If I had to dumb it down to just a few options, it would be:
  • Run the latest Google Pixel phone w/ GrapheneOS
  • Switch browser to Brave
  • Use a good VPN that accepts Bitcoin/LN like IVPN or Mullvad

LibreWolf is a good recommendation too.

Definitely, but not available on mobile so I usually default to Brave for a cross-platform choice.

I don't know how comparable is privacy with librewolf, but I use fennec browser for mobile. It could run firefox extensions too, and being a firefox fork I risk to affirm it's same (for firefox). Even using alby extension with it.

Awesome - I've actually recently been thinking about what phone I want to get next, so will definitely keep this in mind.
What would you say are the main pros/cons of running GrapheneOS? I imagine there have to be some sacrifices for running a privacy-focused OS

Very little sacrifice IMO, the experience (if you're willing to enable Google Play Services) is pretty seamless outside of losing Google Pay.
