are you under the assumption that fdroid has security benefits?
Its not security I'm looking for. If I wanted security I would be running stock with all of the apps from large corporations.
What's good about F-droid is the freedom you get when you use it. All of its apps are libre. You have the ability to tweak them anyway you want and the source code it yours to study, learn, modify and distribute.
not.. after.. security... hmm. 😶
That's correct
