Well my intention was not to offend you. However, I still firmly believe that using a proprietary app store run by google is not as good as a app store that takes libre software as a priority.
Sorry if you interpreted as a insult. I just don't like when people blindly follow others. I am not sure if that's some you are doing but its something I see a lot of. I'm not perfect either and I probably should work on my wording to make it less harsh.
It's alright, and just to be clear, I do use and support F-Droid because I personally think it is better and suits my privacy goals. I didn't mean to sound as if I wasn't supporting it, just that it's a bit more nuanced when talking about the security side: like almost everything in security, it's more complex than one took being universally better than another.
