I thought about putting it too, if I were to put all the "big techs" it wouldn't fit lol

But I agree with you.

I use invidious, piped and other ways to extract youtube content btw ( I just don't know how long)

I had a Pixel 6 and now I use a Pixel 8, both of which I had battery problems (they don't last long) and they also get too hot. But unfortunately they are the only ones that run GrapheneOS so it is a sacrifice that I am willing to make. Regarding apps, all the ones I use, without exception are open source and I have no problem with them so far

I will update

many banks apps here in Germany works withe GrapheneOS

I use GrapheneOS since 2021 on my Pixel

NextDNS is good but you have another point of trust, using the DNS of VPN provider is a better solution.

crypto and art are mostly used for money laundry

Exactly, it has some leak points. Only GrapheneOS approach is effective to truly block internet connection. Even iptables block connection is flawed

"GrapheneOS adds a Network permission toggle for disallowing both direct and indirect access to any of the available networks. The device-local network (localhost) is also guarded by this permission, which is important for preventing apps from using it to communicate between profiles. Unlike a firewall-based implementation, the Network permission toggle prevents apps from using the network via APIs provided by the OS or other apps in the same profile as long as they're marked appropriately"
