Are you using one of those de-Googled custom Android ROMs or stock?

I am - GrapheneOS is excellent. I do unfortunately run sandboxed Google Play Services for access to Google Maps & Google Play through which I get my banking app. Pretty much everything else (launcher, podcasts, VLC, Firefox, FluffyChat&Element for Matrix messaging, ntfy.sh/UnifiedPush) is via f-droid, and works great.

On a Pixel or something else?

Used Pixel 4, yeah - I think the later pixels have better security features & support from Graphene, but this way I also help reduce ewaste.

Just interested because I like Graphene but don't want to use a Pixel. I'd love to run it on a FairPhone honestly. Looks like DivestOS is my best bet.

Honestly nope. I mostly need phone for banking apps that thanks to Google DRM (SafetyNet) dont play too well with custom ROMs. Yet Firefox work quite well across Windows, macOS, Linux and Android and it has huge advantage of having proper adblocking. So it's mostly no brainer which browser to use.
