Avoid downloading #android apps from F-Droid.
F-Droid is compromised and has censored apps for ideological reasons. They don't care about freedom or free speech. I'll write more on this topic later.
It's also not secure to get your apps from there, because all of them are signed by F-Droid – you’re adding a party you’ll have to trust, which isn’t ideal.
I only use F-Droid to find #FOSS apps that I would not have discovered otherwise. I recommend using Obtainium, which lets you install and update your apps directly from their source.
