I see, you might be right about Odysee. though /e/OS actually is really good, don't be so prejudiced about it. I didn't try to disprove your guide or anything BTW, tried to expand it a bit.
I don't mind being slightly behind other android ROMs in terms of updates, I get updates every once in a few months on e/OS. One of the main freatures is that there is a feature caled advanced privacy you can block all trackers, spoof your GPS location and Tunnel your IP Adress through Tor from the settings or from its Widget at a per App basis without root out of the box. It also comes completly degoogled and with microg all default apps replaced with a foss alternatives. Its fork of Aurora store "app lounge" has privacy ratings for all the apps calculated using the permissions they require and trackers they have, it includes FOSS and pwa apps too.(also must admit I mostly just use fdroid). There is a lot to love about it and it is compatible with a lot more phones than grapheneOS. I know that you can achieve most of it, if not all of it on graphene too but /e/OS makes privacy "convenient".
It is not DNS as far as I can tell since you can edit dns settings seperately. I use quad9 dns for example
No I didn't know that :)
