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

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?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Installing through F-Droid is way easier tho and the IzzyOnDroid repo actually uses the binaries from the developer

Though, last I checked, IzzyOnDroid does warn that they usually only host things not found on F-droid. Once something they host gets included in F-droid it's often removed from IzzyOnDroid without warning.

You could use Droid-ify and have the best of both worlds

This is actually the way
