Timing is excellent for me. Would RethingDNS & Firewall (using both features) provide a "pseudo" Graphene OS like environment? If not, is the more affordable Fairphone 6 worth the costs?

It's better than the default, but such firewalls are installed at the user level while Google's services are installed at the root level and are known to bypass VPNs and VPN-style firewalls, including RethinkDNS, on occasion.
