Comment on The importance of F-Droid, an Android app storeparent

Comments

Do these same concerns still pertain to dev-hosted F-Droid repos? (E.g. I am thinking of how I install Bitwarden from the their own repo: https://mobileapp.bitwarden.com/fdroid/)

IMHO, one of the best parts about the F-Droid ecosystem is its openness. Security models are not a one-size-fits-all and it is important to me to have access to software from multiple sources.

Dev-hosted repos are the same as downloading from the developer's site, they offer none of F-Droid's guarantees
