GrapheneOS is pretty good, as a more private alternative to Android, though the downside is that it's only available for Pixel phones. I bought a used one on ebay.

I wonder if Square would still work, for example? I haven't flashed open source ROMs on my phone since like 2012.

Honestly though, I just consider the phone a lost cause when it comes to privacy & use it accordingly. Uncle Googs is always watching, even when the damn thing is turned off.

the thing about degoogled OS is lack of SafetyNet support and it is important for banking apps.

Thx, that's exactly my concern as I remember it being an issue when I was flashing ROMs in the past.
