> a throw away gmail account you don't care about losing with the aurora store

They also have a pool of accounts you can use by clicking “anonymous”. They do get banned frequently, and you have to re-login once in a while (for me it's almost every time I want to download something new again), but it is definitely usable.

It's a lot less usable lately because of the "Oops this account is rate limited" error unfortunately. Sometimes it takes me 10 tries. Updates are fine though, it's just searching for new apps that trigger it.

Yeah, I thought search was completely broken tbh. Usually I search in browser then use “Open in app” to open in Aurora and download.

Maybe they can add some web scraping thing to sidestep this issue completely?
