F-Droid still has some big tasks in order to be useable for the general public, when comparing it with e.g. Google Play Store. For example, if you search it for "browser", Firefox will not show up because A) It's called Fennec B) The F-Droid search seems to be exact infix search, and Fennec's title is "Fennec F-Droid -- Browse the web", in which "Browser" does not appear, only "browse". So it doesn't find it. In gene…

It's called Fennec because it is not from Mozilla and includes patches to removs propietary bits (which are not allowed on F-Droid). https://gitlab.com/relan/fennecbuild And fennec was the 'internal' name for firefox on android from mozilla.

I wish that transparency and security were a selling point in gaming, but to me it doesn't seem like it. People will install all kinds of stuff and give them administrator permissions without a second thought. Anti-cheat eating itself into the kernel seems to be perfectly normal for most people. It's an entertainment product and people don't want to be inconvenienced for the most part. Regarding the development costs…

Use droidify a alternative fork of fdroid
