Use Linux, uBlock, other Free Software. Change the operating system on my phone to LineageOS or GrapheneOS, get my Apps from F-Droid. Don't sign up everywhere with my real phone number and birthday.

(Regarding the original question: I'd say secure passwords and 2fa is more security than privacy?!)

LineageOS or GrapheneOS

Which one do you prefer and why? Has installing any of them caused banking or pay apps to stop working?

I don't use any "pay" apps. I got a card from my bank, I just use that to pay. So i don't know. But the banking app that generates tan codes, shows the balance and so on works fine.

I prefer GrapheneOS for my main phone. It just works and has sane default settings. On other devices I prefer LineageOS for microG. And i can root Lineage which is handy for development.
