I has come to my attention that some users have never heard of F-droid. F-droid is a free software app store for android - eviltoast

      I did make up my mind, and both I and the article both explicitly emphasise people to apply the facts it presents to their own circumstances. What you just wrote is very condescending and insulting.

        Well my intention was not to offend you. However, I still firmly believe that using a proprietary app store run by google is not as good as a app store that takes libre software as a priority.

        Sorry if you interpreted as a insult. I just don’t like when people blindly follow others. I am not sure if that’s some you are doing but its something I see a lot of. I’m not perfect either and I probably should work on my wording to make it less harsh.

          It’s alright, and just to be clear, I do use and support F-Droid because I personally think it is better and suits my privacy goals. I didn’t mean to sound as if I wasn’t supporting it, just that it’s a bit more nuanced when talking about the security side: like almost everything in security, it’s more complex than one took being universally better than another.
