Open-source apps are consistently better than the average closed source app on the playstore (opinion) - eviltoast

Has anyone noticed that apps on F-Droid or that you just get from GitHub are just better than the ultra-popular apps on the play store? Most of them are open source and have no ads or trackers. But this isn’t true on the Play Store at all.

I see myself always getting apps from F-Droid now because there is always an alternative to the ad-infested bloated privacy infesting BS that I find on the play store. It’s unfortunate that it’s gotten this bad, where the only reason I even use the play store is to install updates or games.

      Yeah I use Droid-ify too. Reasons why is that it looks much better than the stock F-Droid client and is also much newer. Of course I still have the original client just in case but droidify is just better overall
