Obtanium is cool and useful for some apps, but it's a strictly worse option than f-droid . With it, when a developers goes rogue or a git repository gets overtaken there is no security measure anymore that could catch that. Also, the measures f-droid takes to ensure the software is free can be welcomed - the article nitpicks one case where it went wrong, but ignores completely that one could prefer free software in general. If one does, f-droid is the best choice available.
