To do that literally is actually quite hard if not impossible for most people. A deGoogled mobile device that is functional - that is a quite a technical challenge.
However, ditching Chrome is obviously low-hanging fruit. Drives me crazy that so many people can't see the obvious problem of having a web where the client and the server belong to the same company.
Ironically, if you buy a Google phone (Pixel 6 or later) you can load GrapheneOS and avoid the Google ecosystem entirely.
For most people looking for a phone, it's the choice of which company you want to give your data too. But there are very obvious options when it comes to browsers.
