    security and privacy nightmare ?

    Well yes. If you care about any of these two things, then F-Droid is the only option at your disposal. It’s not perfect security-wise, but it’s still much better than any alternative (including Google Play Store which is just a malware hosting service).

    Remember the last time you randomly ran a .exe from a USB stick, an email attachment or a website, and all you got to show for it was a virus? Well anything that looks like Play Store and distributes “compiled” APKs is just that on a massive scale. What could possibly go wrong?
