When i was considerong buying a fairphone, fairphones with e/os came up and wondered if it was a good option for privacy.

I do not like pixels, and would love nothing to do with that phone. I prefer my one plus and if i can keep that still have my privacy, that would be nice.

E/os can be put on different android phones my one plus included.

I'm not fully up to date when it comes to e/os as I haven't used it before. I believe it would be more private than the default os on fairphone considering google has been stripped out. I'd recommend doing research on the security updates of e/os, as if I'm not mistaken, these can often be significantly behind leaving you vulnerable.

If security updates aren't quickly implemented, as I think they're not - I wouldn't recommended using it.

DivestOS (rip) had a chart of updates/security patches. 1st was GrapheneOS, 2nd (right behind, often same day) was DivestOS, LineageOS was often 3rd, then CalyxOS, e/os was well out of date.
