Another benefit to having the official repo is that you can toggle it off if Newpipe ever goes down the same path as, say, Simple Mobile Tools (sells to an adtech company).

The other problem is trusting a centralized service implicitly. That's how people keep getting their login information exposed from Fakebook.

No worries. I'm expanding my feeds to include more of ActivityPub (except Fakebook's most recent malware).
- I wasn't sure which account I typed out that comment on.
- Some people only look at one thread.
Is that a good enough answer?

Just add the official Newpipe repo to F-Droid.

I'm seeing 0.26.1 on F-Droid on my end. Try copying and pasting this into your repo list:
https://archive.newpipe.net/fdroid/repo/?fingerprint=E2402C78F9B97C6C89E97DB914A2751FDA1D02FE2039CC0897A462BDB57E7501
- Download and install F-Droid to your Android phone: https://f-droid.org/
- While on the website, select "Docs" at the top of the screen then select "Known Repositories"
- Copy the URL for NewPipe's repo
- In F-Droid on your phone, go into Settings, select Repositories, select the plus button at the top right corner, and paste the NewPipe repo into the text field.
You should see what it does when you try to put aftermarket ink in the printer and HP's flimsy excuse for why that is.
