I'm surprised that several audits didn't uncover this signing issue. GrapheneOS devs do not recommend f-droid. Instead, Play Store is the safest option for now, after Aurora Store


But their goals are also kinda opposed, software security with not much concerns paid to freedom.


What? That's so not true. They give heavy preference to security because without it, your freedom and privacy has no value


How can you trust proprietary software, when you cannot inspect code? It's just a blind trust.


You don't have to. On grapheneos google play service isn't given special privileges and is sandboxed like any other normal app.


Well yeah so Theo goals are opposed. F-droid is foss first and probably say proprietary illusion of security has no value ;)


Aurora Store downloads apk files directly from gplay servers, why it should be less safe than Play Store?
