I have been noticing that Google Play is overrun with adware, trialware, and freemium kinds of apps. Really hard to find FOSS and truly free apps.
Curious about best strategies to sort though Google Pay. I typically start with F-Droid and AlternativeTo to find apps then try to find them on Play.
Ideas?
Poorly G-Droid is no longer developed but for discovery its still the best.
Try Droid-ify if you want something newer.
In this forum page are most stable F-Droid repos available
What are repos? Seperate servers for software. They contain binaries, prepackaged software.
You always need to trust the people packaging the software, as this is where opensource loses its relevance.
