This is one reason I switched to F-Droid a while ago. Among other things, F-Droid is very strict about reporting potential anti-features, which (ironically?) makes me much more comfortable installing apps from that app-manager.

F-droid has one big anti feature itself: it tries to trick you to download their store app when all you want is to get the APK.

Gives me 2015 sourceforge vibes

The main page at https://f-droid.org/en/ pretty much seems to be about the app, so I don't feel particularly tricked.

Thank you for pointing out that you can get APKs direct from the site too. That could be useful sometime!
