Welcome a new Fennec F-Droid

I have just submitted 300 a Fennec update to 81.1.1. Should be available soon™. This version brings a lot of changes, like a new UI and modular codebase. The bad news:

Mozilla now tracks you even more actively using proprietary 3rd party services. I removed all tracking I found. (Firebase, Adjust and Leanplum libraries were replaced with stubs, so some analyzers can erroneously report their presence in the APK.)

The new UI may break your habits and disappoint you. (IMHO it’s not that bad as one can conclude from reading r/Firefox.)

Android 5.0 or later is now required. Mozilla decided so.

x86 devices are not supported anymore. I stumbled upon linkage errors and gave up. Help is welcome.

The good news is that Fennec F-Droid is alive and continues to be truly free software.

I've created a new channel for it, as hopefully more are to come (and hopefully also in better quality than this "quick cut", I'm out of training in video editing):

IzzyOnDroid@mastodon.technology - Drizzle in my repo today with 2 new apps. Most prominently:

Watomatic – to help those of you still stuck at WhatsApp to leave that s(t)inking ship without being afraid "nobody can find you": it sends auto-responses to everyone writing you, telling them you've left and where to look. So: no more excuses, here's your door! https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.parishod.watomatic​

Further running: SpaceXFollower (SpaceX events, facts, statistics) and Auxio, a nice music player, added yesterday.

Enjoy #foss #Android #apps with #fdroid!

IzzyOnDroid@floss.social - @fdroidorg now passed the mark of 100 apps using #reproducibleBuilds (factor 10 to a year ago) – about 9 out of 10 apps recently added opted for that extra step.

What does this mean to you?

* you know #FDroid builds from source
* you see the app is signed by the developer
* => double trust!
* plus: cross-updates. Already have the app installed from Play? Seamlessly switch over to F-Droid for the extra trust!

Expect more and more #Android #apps at F-Droid using this :awesome:

🔴 App download / install / manage

Google PlayStore™ can be installed with #minmicrog and other microg installers. Some apps you bought with a Google account may require it to check for licenses.
If it doesn't work check possible solutions here: https://t.me/NoGoolag/19314 ( #issues )

You can buy apps with your Google account from a web browser and then download it with Google playstore / Aurora Store / Yalp Store

Don't buy apps to Google, you're financing that evil corporation with the 30% cut they take from every app sold
