    Google flags F-Droid updates…

    Why would people have Google security going on if they have set up F-Droid as their appstore? Doesn’t that defeat the entire purpose?

      Like I understand that if I buy a phone from Apple, and they control everything on the phone and what I can install - well I mean I bought it from Apple, what else did I expect?

      But I didn’t buy my phone from Google. They should have no say in what I could or couldn’t install.

        You bought a phone running a Google operating system, knowingly so. This one is on you buddy.

        I mean, I don’t think it matters if you bought the phone from Google or not (and you could have). Samsung or Motorola or whoever shouldn’t have any say either.

      Well according to the OP, it’s a list they offer for free and it’s integrated with many browsers including Firefox…
