  • I think I can agree with the crux of your statement, the problem I see completely outside of your argument is the online privacy community is both highly toxic and highly ignorant. Most of them have never worked in IT or as an admin and have to work with customers according to what the customer is paying for and not what someone believes is a better way but the paying customer has no interest in learning, so they spout their opinions online but have never had formal employment in network security and privacy for a company.



  • In the details for potential URL in memory, it says that’s for .onion address.

    Thank you for posting the report, after I read through it, everything to me is clean and clear. The FDroid apk does not communicate with any outside resource that is not part of the anonymous network.

    The Github version relies on Google, and to me nothing in the report suggeats that the FDroid version communicates with Google services.







  • The link for F-Droid security issues is goijg on 3 years old, have you looked at the code xhanges for F-Droid since then?

    For using Obtainium, how do you avoid or block all apps from Github that depend on GCM, Firebase, or Google services? That’s wh I uae F-Droid and disable all anti-features so those apps are never listed, even if I search for an app that has Google dependancies, F-Droid will say that app does not exist or is not listed, as long as all anti-features is disabled.



  • I can’t speak to that with a familiar level with the code, I can only presume or guess. All I will say is that is why I never install any app from Github or Gitlabs, because there is no third party verification of the code for releases on those sites.

    I only use F-Droid after disabling all anti-features in Settings and then install apps that I know are 100% clean from all dependancies.

    Download the SimpleX apk from F-Droid website and then run that to see what it says for any difference in the results.
