For example, I'm trying to find out how isolated the work profile on my phone is and whether it shares identifiers with the main profile, but in general I'm thinking of buying a new phone and keep Google et al. as far away as possible, but I need to understand exactly what data these companies have access to.

I used this one when I installed pihole and wanted to find out which app was hammering a tracking site (It was a red icon app who complained some apps are not optimized)
https://github.com/TrackerControl/tracker-control-android

Although I don't know who much info you can get about the requests from it, I only used it to find the culprit and since it was an easy decision I uninstalled it, I didn't had to check what data was being collected.

Yeah, I linked the repo since they're linked both there and they say the use cases are different between google play version and the f-droid one.
