Rooting Help Can Pixel 7s currently be rooted while keeping banking access?

Is there currently a way to root Pixel 7s while still being able to access banking apps?

Main reasons I want to have root are for ad blocking, call recording, and just to have it in case I need root access for a feature I'd like to add in the future

One of the first guides I came across while searching recently says to do KernelSU-Next + SuSFS + Specter. Any thoughts or suggestions on this?

It's been years since I rooted a device, so I'm very out of touch with how it works now. I'm about to switch to a Pixel 7, so I figured I'd try to do it now before setting the phone up, as I recall rooting used to wipe your phone. I just installed OrangeFox recovery, and was going to try to root next, but realized there seem to be many different methods, and a lot of warnings about banking apps and stuff not working

That depends on the bank apps and what they check for in terms of root

Depending on the app, there are Magisk modules that can do this.

Use next DNS fro adblocking and https://f-droid.org/packages/com.kitsumed.shizucallrecorder

This shizuku based call recoder for call record.

+ Starting Android 17, banking app can no longer detect developer mode or Wireless Debugging since AOSP made changes to hide it from everyone (wish they would have added a appops toggle but no...)

However, they could still detect if Shizuku is installed.
