Hi Aur
- I do not see any need to use antivirus-software on android/eOS as following some simple rules and using your brain should be sufficient imho (and an antivirus will eat ressources and might leak data as well). all depending on your usecase and “internet-behaviour” of course
- You might want to be more specific on your “usual apps” that You think You really need. Do not expect 100%. Alternatives can often be found in e.g. fdroid … for banking apps on eOS check this thread
- if you must it should be possible to use them maps in a browser … but why use a degoogled phone if You still want to use their services? Maybe FP-owners will answer on gps-reliability of FP. (I own a Samsung S7) I use “organic maps” app and I am happy with it.
- I would not consider myself being safe from this sort of very specific surveillance simply because of my degoogled phone (!) …if you consider yourself being a possible target to very specific surveillance like pegasus You might want to dig a bit deeper, review your smartphone-usecases etc. and become a geek
