Google don’t index sites which contain that kind of information. :)
More seriously, I too would have bought a Fairphone (for ethical reasons) to replace the crap second-hand Android phone that I’d been using for the past 8 years. However, I recently received a gift of a new iPhone so I probably won’t be getting a new phone for another 8 years or so. The iPhone doesn’t have any bloatware and it does have lots of options for security and privacy so I’m happy to use it from that point of view. Aside from not being able to remove the battery, I don’t think the average user can do much better than that, given that they have no insight into or control over the baseband layer.
I’ve never owned a Pixel but I’d expect (hope) that one purchased directly from Google would be similar to in iPhone bought from Apple.
