    I’m trying it. This was the kick in the ass I needed to finally go ahead and get F Droid. Anything else I should be getting from there? I’ve heard of some good apps through it but idk what a sorta “standard” user might be interested in.

      Firstly, check if certain apps you use from Google Play are on there too. Some, like Bitwarden, Wikipedia, or Jellyfin, are on fdroid too without Google’s bullshit. Some even have functionality on fdroid that they’re not allowed to have on the Play store.

      After that, the Fossify suite of simple apps are very basic, no bullshit, non-Google system apps. Gallery in particular is popular.

      If you like Sid Meiers Civilization, search for Unciv.

      NewPipe for ad-free YouTube.

      TrackerControl will let you block ads system wide. It’s kinda touchy and takes some finagling, though.

        To be fair, there are also some features that also rely on Google’s builds. For example, Bitwarden’s “Log in with Device” only works on the Google Play version.

        Seconding Fossify Gallery, IIRC it’s a fork of the superb Simple Gallery, prior to it being sold to some dodgy data gathering company. It’s great.

    Does privacy-friendly imply that other weather apps are not privacy friendly?

    Is someone selling my once or twice a day check of the weather?

    “oh yes, this individual is only particularly interested in the weather when they’re getting dressed for the day or when weather intensity picks up” - literally describes like everyone.

      Lots of weather apps, since they have access to your location, sell that location data to data brokers or use location API services that do.

      I’m case anyone finds this comment this looks to be fixed in v5.2.0

      Seems to be: Fix current location keeping old timezone on some sources, when travelling to a different timezone
