I got myself a Pixel 7 to succeed my Pixel 6 with GOS. But i’d like to use it now, even tho GOS is not ported to Pixel 7 yet. Are there any way to get privacy with the stock ROM? I know it will not reach GOS’s privacy level, but still to be out of Google’s sight.

Then if Aurora Store isn’t secure, what is your call? Using Play store with Graphene? (I’ve been using Aurora with my Pixel 6 under GrapheneOS)
