Yeah a lot of it is in the unstable builds for practically any mainstream distros.

Absolutely, it's just the browser extensions most end-users want/need that would cause them distress in that regard. It's simply not as user friendly from what I can recall, it's been a while since I last used it so it may have improved since then
I wouldn't recommend LibreWolf to the average user as they'll unfoubtedly stretch their attack surface thin.

There are other good VPN options that provide port forwarding but it's usually at an extra cost or absolutely tedious to set up.
AirVPN, Windscribe, PIA, and another one I can't remember. Personally I prefer the security and privacy of Mullvad but I use proton's port forwarding and proton mail for quite a bit so the transition is gonna be annyoing...
All I could tell from my recent search into FOSS Android OS's is that they shit on competetitors like crazy. It's pretty funny, albiet concerning, to see the official Reddit account bash on the competition.
Even at the cost of using a Google phone? In any case if I decide to go with it I'll be sure to donate match the price of whichever pixel I end up with ty :)
Provided you're not in need of fully fledged powerpoints, it would be fine to run them w/ little to no resources allocated to it.

Damn. That's such a shame, I was considering the fairphone with /e/ os but it's looking less and less appealing. I guess flashing it with CalyxOS and removing/replacing microg might be the better option. Either that or bite the bullet and get a pixel n' flash GrapheneOS to it.
I deeply aplreciate your expansion on the matter :)
I wrote "some code" back when I was a child, if you asked me to explain how it works all I could tell you is "through the power of santa's little helper".
