I am very happy with IodéOS (a privacy-focused OS based on Lineage) as it has a per-app firewall and adblocker built into the OS. A major drawback of "stock android" is that google itself has elevated privileges, which is a strong argument for degoogling android at the OS level. Until recently, it has been pretty difficult to find a degoogled OS for a given device, (less than 1%) but now with GSIs it's getting better: https://blog.iode.tech/what-are-gsis-and-how-to-install-them...
