/e/os vs graphene (sh.itjust.works)

Does anyone know how /e/os compares to graphene os for privacy? I am thinking of getting a murena fairphone which comes with /e/os but supports custom OSs and am leaning towards graphene, but don't know much about e.

I ran /e/os on my Fairphone 4 for a while. Wasn't a fan of the clearly iOS-inspired launcher or the outdated Android version, so I switched to Iodé, which delivers a more Android-y experience. The built-in, system-wide ad-blocker is great, but recently they added a "premium" model that allows for more rigorous blocking. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
You could also take a look at Ubuntu touch, which updated about a month ago, with improved support for the Fairphone 4.

Good thing about android is the custom launchers. I'm on /e/OS using the Olauncher.

Yea, I used some vanilla clone for a while, since they use the original app ID for their launcher, which prevents you from installing the original vanilla launcher. Really bad style.
Later used Nova for a while, but when they started lagging behind official updates I switched to Iodé, which didn't and also supported the device before vanilla LineageOS, which Iodé is based on, did.
