I will be using the browser of that phone to connect to specific webpages, receiving/making calls and nothing else, I need a stable OS/hardware, I can configure a Firewall (which?) to make a explicit whitelist to avoid apps or the browser itself from calling home, but I assume that the phone/OS (like Android) can avoid the firewall if they want, but I’m not sure.

Can anyone recommend me what phone/OS combination will be good to use? a Pixel+Graphene seems to be an option, but I want to know if they are any other alternatives (Librem and PinePhone series are discarded because they have a lot of software/hardware issues).

I have read the rules

Edit: I want to add some information that (I think) will make the “threat model” more clear: The phone will not have any valuable information and will not load anything valuable through the browser, I have “privacy” in mind, as a “normal person” no one will find information of me valuable also, aside of ads-related information.
