Its got extra repos built in and feels more polished IMO. You can also look into Obtanium to install APKs direct from GItHub. This generally means you get updates faster than fdroid, and are 100% sure no code had changed (fdroid rebuilds packahes and resigns them). permalink fedilink source parent [–] Unreliable@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago* I wouldn't really recommend fdroid tbh.
