I was wondering what you think about this. I have it disabled because it always flags the f-droid store. It's also very annoying when disabled, because it keeps asking to enable it, which is often a good sign that you actually don't want it.

I leave it on, and have f-droid installed (mostly for AdAway), with no issues. Just leave it on eh.

Allow us to filter out China apps and most of the problems with rogue apps will be gone.
