Google being clear that, if you want to distribute an app for Android, whether via another store (such as F-Droid) or just for side loading, you will need to register with Google.
Time to push harder against this restriction.

Broken links aside (fix incoming), #FDroid raises the case against the #Google developer forced registration once again.
We'll skip the small talk, go read, and better yet, spread this wide and far: https://f-droid.org/2025/09/29/google-developer-registration-decree.html so people are made aware, actions can be taken and #Android is kept truly open!
I wasn't expecting, but fdroid updated Fennec to 139.0.4. Usually they skip the minor versions.
Better late than never.
So yay!!
