F-Droid is an installable catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform. The client makes it easy to browse, install, and keep track of updates on your device.
Droid-ify offers apps from different repositories so you can have Izzyondroid and F-droid at the same time. It also scans for updates and does auto-updates if possible.
Yeah I know about that but what has that to do with IzziOnDroid apps which pulls the apps from GitHub being removed after they’ve been added to the official Fdroid repo
If an app is added to the official Fdroid repo, it’s removed from IzzyOnDroid after a while. Not the case with every app, but this might happen. Now you have to use the Fdroid version
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.
Even better obtanium installs direct from the Devs host. You could use fdroid to find the homepage/where they host and add it to obtanium
Installing through F-Droid is way easier tho and the IzzyOnDroid repo actually uses the binaries from the developer

You could use Droid-ify and have the best of both worlds
I don’t know if you didn’t understand their comment or if Droidify has a feature I didn’t knew about.

Apparently it seems that I don’t get it indeed.
I said Droid-ify is a 'best of both worlds because it offers the easy of use of F-droid but also pulls from IzzyOnDroid/GitHub.

I prefer F-droid as it adds a layer of checks to hopefully keep the devs from doing something malious
are you under the assumption that fdroid has security benefits?

That’s correct
Some people like to live dangerously.
This is actually the way
