Hello,

I downloaded SchildiChat to access matrix as their UI is more conveniant than Element. Exodus and TC slim however found "Google Admob" within the app.

As you can see on the screenshot. I asked developers about it, and they told me there's no trackers on the app.

Who's right, who's wrong ?

Thanks

Use Obtanium or Zapstore to get the non-Google and non-F-Droid .apk, as those contain trackers for the notification system to work.

Those are alternative stores ?

[-] uxellodunum@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Indeed. They offer up the original .apks from their respective github sources, so generally don't include trackers etc as you'd find on the Google store versions, or even f-droid at times.

@uxellodunum @harfang então o abtanium é melhor do que o F-Droid ou Aurora store? Tipo, só para atualização?

[-] uxellodunum@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Claro. Obtanium (e Zapstore) vão directamente à página de Github buscar da fonte. F-Droid tem builds que seguem certas regras estritas, e por isso às vezes tem mudanças. Aurora store é apenas um proxy para Google Play Store.
