Usual big misconception:
FOSS = private & secure.
No.
FOSS from a trustworthy and good reputation company or group, with regular third party audits and a verifiable funding plan to keep them alive, PROBABLY is.
Open source software doesn't automatically mean it's constantly being verified and audited, and most likely FOSS free-time developers are not keen to make much effort to secure their software even though they love to contribute with useful and privacy-friendly code for everyone.
Don't put your eggs in every FOSS basket you find on F-droid or elsewhere just because they're FOSS, please do your own research for every single application you're willing to use and evaluate your risks.

I have an android phone but I am very worried abut data harvesting without my consent. I know that I can't turn it off completely but I made firefox as my standardbrowser (don't use google anymore) and disabled all biometrics. It isn't to much of a hassle for me and lets me feel a lot saver

You mentioned pixels being essentially the best phone for degoogling. That's the reason I buy pixel phones right now. I'm currently slowly removing all big data and anti privacy software from my life, then I'm going to divorce Google as the last entity who has my data.

I prefer using a Google pixel phone rather than a Samsung or any other. Pixel phones offer more compatibility with different custom operating systems rather than a Samsung or others.

Not to mention in the iphone settings under any application their are settings for siri; -learn from this app- is on by default under -siri & search-. This is a major security concern.

Man I've gone far down this rabbit hole, but I think it's good. I'm realizing how insecure all my data is and it's gonna be quite the challenge to get it back under control -

If I download Tor from the play store, or a foss app from Fdroid, won't I still be spied on from the phone's software?

You can also customize tracking your device sending by installing XPosed framework. It lets you tweak information that applications collect and sending.

Faraday cage is a bit too much but then again its the extreme users who probably are journalists, activists etc. or someone who wants to be off grid
