So which one is more degoogle, the custom the official the unofficial?

There is no Official version for this device.

The unofficial version has the same amount of de-googling as the official ROMs for other devices - i.e. All the default installed apps have been de-googled by /e/

My Custom build doesn’t do any extra de-googling. It differs from official and unofficial ROMs as described in this post

[CUSTOM BUILD] Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact `lilac` (Android Q)

Here’s a new build based on thev0.18.1-q tag. I am currently using it on my ‘daily driver’ device after ‘dirty flashing’ over my previous v0.17-q custom build. As always, use at your own risk, and back up your data before installing The release notes for the v0-18-q tag are here The list of fixed defects can be found here: It differs from Official and unofficial /e/ builds as follows F-Droid (with PrivilegedExtension and additional repos), and Aurora Store instead of Apps store Choice…

The new and replacement apps in my custom builds are all from F-Droid, are unmodified by me, and are open source. No de-googling has been done, but I don’t believe that any of them make much use of Google’s services or send any information to Google’s servers. If you are worried that they need de-googling, then you should stick to the unofficial build.

And where can I get the different 3versions?

Both the unofficial and custom ROMs are available from my AndroidFileHost account

I know that. But the purposeto use e/ isabout degoogled the OS.

The extra launchers in my custom build (Omega and Lawnchair) are not part of the OS - they are extra apps installed by me for my convenience. The Bliss Launcher is part of the OS and is degoogled by /e/. If you don’t want any apps present on the phone that have not been degoogled by /e/, then don’t use my custom builds, (and don’t install any apps from /e/'s Apps store. /e/ **do not degoogle the apps that Apps serves)
