That’s it. Would you recommended any other repository?

I like to add as many repos as I can.
The more apps in F-Droid,
the less reason to go to GooglePlay :)

Here is a list with all repo’s I’ve got imported:

I usually keep the Archive variants disabled,
but they’re nice to keep around,
for if you ever need an old version of an app.

Also,
most of these I’ve found through Droid-Ify,
it’s my favorite app to manage my F-Droid apps: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.looker.droidify/

Bromite is unmaintained. Use Mulch instead. You can find it in DivestOS repos. Also there is another browser called Mull (firefox-based).

Thanks, I still haven’t got into crypo so Monero is not for me but I will study a few of those.

I am redesigning a big part of my digital life these days

For a crypto wallet it seems extremely dangerous to use a custom repo. What if one day it pushes an hacked version with the same signature and it takes all the money?

For this use case I’d consider only from fdroid, the only way it can be sure it matches the published source code

Those repos are maintained by the developers of the Monero wallet. So, if they were going to do that, they would also be able to push the malware version to the fdroid repo as well, because the signatures would match the developers.

The fdroid repository has only apps built by fdroid itself using the published source code, while a private repo could have a binary that doesn’t match the source.

It might be a financial incentive for someone to hack the dev, steal their signing keys, silently add a timebomb that at a specific time would send the whole content of the wallet to a specific monero address, replace the apk after a new release is added. Nobody would notice until too late

Difficult hack but not impossible

I wouldn’t personally even use IzzyonDroid. The only other F-droid repo I use is cromite

Why not? Not reliable? Not safe? I’m re-learning (stuff got obsolete since last time I was interested)

Izzyondroid isn’t as strict when it comes to the software they package

Good to know. Added it because I read it had some extra apps. I’m trying new stuff

Not OP but my answer to this is that I only add sources that I know I need to make sure I understand where everything comes from and to keep that attack surface lower.

I have active the DivestOS repo, since I use Mull as my main browser. It has also some other nice privacy focused apps.

I use mull too, so I’ll consider it Does fdroid delay the updates too much?

I don’t know how much the delay for Mull is specifically, but in general it falls in the range between one and two weeks.
And since Mull is already behind Firefox in terms of security updates, I think it’s better not to fall too much behind

Good point Added then

I don’t think I understand the other apps… It’s social media, right? Not really into that
