I feel safer with F-droid.
- I feel like the overlap of people smart enough to install F-droid and dumb enough to install a dodgy adware app has to be pretty small.
  
  Don't underestimate the dumbness of people.
- Same, I don't even touch google play anymore, to high a risk of downloading spyware or a virus
- Which third-party client is good for F-Droid? Or the first-party app is good?
  
  I've been really liking Neo Store.
  
  Is it just me, or is extending your trust even further from F-Droid maybe not a great idea?
