Wow I got downvoted a lot on that I thought it was a generally agreed upon fact. Source (graphene os)

I still use firefox btw because I prefer it for many other reasons but chromium is definetely more secure.

GraphaneOS founder has fetish for Chromium and he hates F-Droid 1

tldr: he accuse f-droid not being secure and citing this bs post https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/ and he promotes accrescent.app

  • they contain closed-source app
  • they have very flawed understanding of open-source and security 2, 3

here is some examples:

Open source doesn't necessarily mean more secure. I'm aware of many open source apps with numerous well-known security vulnerabilities, as well as many closed-source apps that are highly secure. Furthermore, Accrescent will have a filter to, for example, show only open source apps, so your treatment is incomprehensible.

Accrescent doesn't claim to serve only open-source apps and never has out of the belief that an app's source model doesn't inherently make it more or less private or secure. Qlango doesn't violate any explicit or implicit Accrescent policy by the properties you listed, so it would be inappropriate to remove it.

...In addition, "trackers" are subjective. Accrescent has no plans to enumerate specific libraries or classes and blacklist them solely based on the fact that they connect to Google, Amazon, etc.; collect analytics; or contain proprietary code. This approach isn't scalable anyway because it is trivial to bypass such detection methods.

So I take everything GraphaneOS says with a grain of salt

Can you stop spreading FUD? This almost feels like a pointless attack on someone who haven't asked anything... Already that were targeted with harassment...

Dan Micay is infamous for false and baseless accusations leveled at other groups of people, including everybody from Louis Rossman to the Calyx and F-Droid teams. If making verifiable statements is considered harassment, how much more harassment has he been doing?
