You don't have that popup on NeoStore and other alternatives, because they use Android's new APIs. F-Droid (the app) somehow gets nowhere. Still can't export/import package sources either.
F-Droid has allegedly had automatic/silent installs for a while now, although only on newer versions of Android (12+).
I used droid-ify recently, which is well maintained and still got these pop up. Are you sure we’re talking about the same thing ? I mean pop up that says « would you like to install x app ». Yes no. And you got to give permission to the store first to even show this pop up.
Updates specifically, initial install still gives the pop-up.
From my recent experience both the main F-droid app and Droid-ify can do silent updates. Not sure how automatic they are though.
