No. Not good enough.
F-Droid apps are all open source and verified. You don’t get much safer than that.
Google should not be blocking anything that’s not on the play store.
F-droid doesn’t promise to keep you safe. So please don’t make it out to be safer than it is. You still have to use common sense.
just like with the play store
yes, but that’s not what was mentioned…
yes, I know, but I wanted to make sure it is also mentioned that in the malware regard the play srore is not any better (lot worse currently)
Ah, so that you can have users who “sideload” as a distinct minority, like those who root their phones. And then introduce measures to make that minority continually shrink until it’s considered a niche use case that doesn’t need to be considered too closely. Got it.
Sure seems that way. The only reason for root and flash to have become so obnoxious over the years is because that is the point.
Yeah and then it breaks attestation or something in other apps for no reason and I can no longer access my bank account, use public transport, or do my taxes.
Most people don’t know about or bother enabling Developer Mode. Just make it another toggle in that menu.
