    • F-Droid is like Google Play Store but it hosts only open source apps. This has 2 main advantages: 1) It allows you to install software on phones without requiring a Google account (e.g. on Cyanogenmod). This has privacy benefits. 2) the code for all the apps can be inspected for security and privacy weaknesses/violations. JohnFastman • Dec 2016 • 24 agrees and 12 disagrees Disagree   Agree

  • G-Droid

    G-Droid is a client application to browse the F-Droid repository. It has a slighly different approach of UI design to the F-Droid client.

    • Has the advantage of being open source and only lists open source apps (since it uses the F-Droid repository), which has privacy benefits over Google play Store. It has a better interface than F-Droid, plus a system of labels, rankings and comments, that are lacking on the original F-Droid app. (personal experience: images, like logos, load way faster on G-droid than F-Droid for me) narvod • Apr 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees Disagree   Agree

google market needs these four categories:

commercial
open source
freeware
malware

adware is malware
rendering ads is malware
spyware is malware
sending SMS to premium numbers secretly is malware
uploading one's phone book to app dev server is malware (kik messenger buries this factoid)

As it going to charge $40 to install, probably time to change it from Free to Commercial.
