So recently bought the Pixel 8 with my previous carrier being Verizon and was going to put Grapheneos on it but I had no idea that Verizon locks the boot loaders of their devices even though google does not. What are some things I can do to de google the device or make it more private like Grapheneos would. Or am I out of luck. Thanks

I’m not ready to really degoogle my phone, but wow next DNS has a lot of cool features! Thanks for the recommendation
Glad it helps! Yeah DNS level adblocking is hugely helpful both in terms of privacy and security.
