In the GrapheneOS forum, I encountered a claim that F-droid is insecure (and not good at privacy as well). These links (and more) were given as an evidence:

While there are some attitude against FOSS app, I think the arguments are generally sound and in good-faith. Which makes me confused, as I’ve been hearing good words about F-droid in lemmyverse.

I am not good at assessing arguments, so I want to ask you guys for more aspects and information.

Also, if not F-droid, what should I use? Is Aurora store, a frontend of play store, not fine to use as well?

    Everything is insecure for the user. Google, Apple, Windows, knowingly includes apps with features that is ignoring your privacy. So “insecure” is a wide topic, we’ve accepted to debate only in certain narrow areas. F-Droid makes people a little more aware.
