There is . The F-droid app has issues since it’s targeting android 5 . Neo store and droidify are better that way, security wise
Is this the article you are referencing?
https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/
I do see some of the concerns you mentioned but it doesn’t seem to me like a night and day difference
No ,it’s just that the client app is old , targeting android 5. Good if you are using an old phone. But not so good if you are using a new. Higher SDK have tighter checks and limits. But a minor issue, I still recommend using one of the newer ones. Droidify or neostore. Also I think I read somewhere there is work going on to update the F-droid one as well. Edit read up on the article and yea it makes a good point on the SDK level. But yea a minor thing imo. Edit2 apparently it’s android 7
