Some of my favorite apps are on F-Droid and nowhere else.
These apps are for the privacy-minded people, by privacy-minded people who will absolutely refuse to be tied by name (or digital signature with an identity verification process) to their apps.
And then there’s the problem of making legally gray apps (emulators), now someone needs to be tied to that app, which makes then easier to find, or if an app starts to irritate a government or corporation, then they can find who published it pretty easily (likely without proper the proper legal oversight/subpoena) even outside of the Play Store.
What the fuck Google.
Which apps are your favorites? If you don’t mind sharing
It’s not closing down F-Droid, but rather not allowing to operate normally in stock Android. There are still alternative Android systems that makes use of F-Droid.
There are, but the roadblocks to installing Android derivatives on most Android phones would probably reduce the F-Droid install base by at least 90%.
