News sites are so annoying with their aggressive internal linking. They talk about this cool new product you want to read about then, when you're ready to actually see the product on the company's page, you can't find an external link to it anywhere in that article or any other 2375 it links to.
Seriously considering this for my next phone.

I'm between it with Android or Ubuntu Touch and one of the Pixels with GrapheneOS
I'm using /e/ for ~2 years and even contributed to it a bit. All listed controversies were basically about "they say degoogled, but not degoogled enough", mostly because LineageOS still has quite a lot of Google code in them. For example you can't remove Google 204 connectivity check... until you implement your own, which /e/ and GrapheneOS did, but LineageOS didn't. GrapheneOS developer is however an arrogant dick, so I've stopped using it and settled with /e/.
Think Fairphone contracted out development of the operating system for the Fairphone 3
Verified boot implementation is a big fail. Uses test signing keys. EDL left open.

(Note theres two sections on FP3 in that)
Think theoretically this could be fixed if old/new devices had keys flashed by EDL.
That would break current /e/ for FP3
Doesnt fill me with much confidence as to the quality of the implementation of the rest of device code/security
