My bootloader is locked out so I can’t load any custom roms unfortunately. Probably gonna get a Pixel 7 straight from google and load grapheneos onto it.

Firefox works well enough for me. Never given me any problems or grief. I don’t really understand the fascination with chromium forks or the insistence on using them instead of Mozilla’s engine.

Eh probably not. Linux Mint or Pop OS would be a better starter distro for someone from a non technical background.
