The installation was very easy! It’s very greatful that my data doesn’t send to Google any more.

    and you can always just use an f-droid repository if they only publish releases there.

    So Obtainium users can install F-Droid apps through Obtainium?

      Yep! It’s not the same experience as F-Droid (e.g. it’s not gonna be you scrolling through a list of apps, picking the one you want, and hitting install. Obtainium is more of a “get the URL to where the app’s releases are, paste it in here, add it, then hit install, plus you might have to do a little config so it selects the right release if there are multiple”, but once it’s set up, it’s set up.

      I fully replaced the F-Droid app with Obtainium for actually installing and updating apps, but I still keep the F-Droid app around just because I can go on there, search up apps, do a little browsing, then take the app I want and put it in Obtainium.

      Yes, Obtainium supports installing from F-Droid repos. It’s a bit more of a pain compared to using something like F-Droid, though.
