Which phone brand is recommendable at the moment? Fairphone uses android, which can hardly be trusted.

Yeah, the most "free" option is probably android custom ROMs (anything based on lineageos, I suppose).

There are alternatives that are slowly building up, such as postmarketos, but it's not production ready.

I think KaiOS was a thing for a while, and it's based on FirefoxOS. But you would have to ditch the confort of a real smartphone and I'm not sure it's still active?

EDIT : KaiOS is indeed maintained BUT it is still based on Android (probably with less higher level components)
