Last thing, I trust Appverifer more than I trust F-droid verification

I think Obtainium is objectively better since you have 24 sources including F-droid and Google play store with Shizuku or Sui

I don't think adding a Chinese source is necessarily bad, what if they have users in china that want local apps?

"Due to their process of building apps, apps in the official F-Droid repository often fall behind on updates. F-Droid maintainers also reuse package IDs while signing apps with their own keys, which is not ideal as it gives the F-Droid team ultimate trust. Additionally, the requirements for an app to be included in the official F-Droid repo are less strict than other app stores like Google Play, meaning that F-Droid tends to host a lot more apps which are older, unmaintained, or otherwise no longer meet modern security standards." This is what PrivacyGuides says. Also you have Appverifier integration in Obtainium which verifies signatures or smth, I know it's a lot better than comparing hashes

Since you get your apps straight from the source. Also F-droid is recommended against in Privacyguides. And lastly you can download F-droid apps in obtainium. Just make sure to use Appverifier or at least compare hashes if Appverifier doesn't support the app

Quite the opposite, I rather it be up there so I see it's running. Altough not that it matters much since I have a killswitch

Oh that's very cool, I didn't know that. Although I think it isn't the most useful for me since I don't have lockscreen notifications and I have all my apps on the home screen

Obtainium > F-droid

I'm moving away from Proton, and self hosting is cooler anyway. Instead of Proton I'm trying out Tuta, Mailbox, Addy.io and Bitwarden

It's audited and open source

I haven't really dived into this but I'm pretty sure GOS dev are one of the groups to recommend against it
