It's your choice but it's not safe.

  Is there any way to make it safe? I've bought newer pixels and they are a downgrade all around for me. I just want security updates and the ability to browse on-device files/do file management (newer Androids keep restricting further and further)

    LineageOS is not the answer. Check out the DivestOS, it is known for supporting 'out of support' devices. but I would strongly suggest you to change your device, that is too old. There is new vunrebility each month.

      > LineageOS is not the answer Could you expand on that? I am curious because I have been using LineageOS on Pixel 2 / Pixel 2 XL phones for a while (and it works very well, I might add), but I am kinda clueless when it comes to Android security.

        DivestOS is my project. Here are the 170+ kernel CVE patches applied on top of what Lineage provides for Pixel 2 series: https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/master/Scripts/LineageOS-20.0/CVE_Patchers/android_kernel_google_wahoo.sh https://gitlab.com/divested-mobile/divestos-build/-/blob/mas... Plus it just provides updates quicker, eg. the recent WebP CVE was first fixed in DivestOS before other aftermarket systems. https://divestos.org/pages/news https://divestos.org/pages/news And provides rapid out-of-band WebView updates: https://divestos.org/misc/ch-dates.txt https://divestos.org/misc/ch-dates.txt See my other notes here: https://divestos.org/pages/patch_levels#osSecurity https://divestos.org/pages/patch_levels#osSecurity And also this independent table: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm
