I wonder if android closing, making de facto @murena @iode #grapheneOs #volla and other alternative roms the only OS being able to install and run apps from @fdroidorg apps, a way to gain market share 🤔. Like would that be a good thing?

Don’t use F-Droid and Aurora store for security, use Obtainium, Accrescent and AppVerifier.

F-Droid Security Issues

F-Droid is a popular alternative app repository for Android, especially known for its main repository dedicated to free and open-source software. F-Droid is often recommended among security and privacy enthusiasts, but how does it stack up against Play Store in practice? This write-up will attempt to emphasize major security issues with F-Droid that you should consider. Before we start, a few things to keep in mind: The main goal of this write-up was to inform users so they can make responsible choices, not to trash someone else’s work.

@a53bdb no. I don't trust apk from github. I favir fdroid who rebuild everything from source.
@a53bdb thanks for the article. Will read
@lutindiscret Why would you trust the developer but not the APK directly from them?
