    Cool! Unfortunately I switched to Obtanium a year or so ago. I get all my apps from GitHub releases straight from the developers now.

      I use F-Droid precisely because I don&#x27;t want that. When <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=38505229">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=38505229 happened - and when the same thing happens again in the future, because it will - I explicitly want F-Droid doing some basic due diligence on updates before shipping them to me. Cutting out the middleman is the opposite of what I want.

        F-Droid doesn&#x27;t do any due dilligence on updates aside from blocking proprietary code

          I literally linked a time when they intervened.
