In the GrapheneOS forum, I encountered a claim that F-droid is insecure (and not good at privacy as well). These links (and more) were given as an evidence:
- https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/
- https://xcancel.com/GrapheneOS/status/1883895255142932816#m
- https://github.com/obfusk/fdroid-fakesigner-poc
While there are some attitude against FOSS app, I think the arguments are generally sound and in good-faith. Which makes me confused, as I’ve been hearing good words about F-droid in lemmyverse.
I am not good at assessing arguments, so I want to ask you guys for more aspects and information.
Also, if not F-droid, what should I use? Is Aurora store, a frontend of play store, not fine to use as well?

Not any text file. Read that again.
I did I must be missing something…
Also what is “Accrescent spreading software”? I searched for it and it looks like it’s just an app store like f-droid?
Not any software. Read more than half a sentence.
Ok, I’ve been trying to understand what you mean and one-line snarky replies are not helping your case.
