Damn. Didn’t knew all of that, thanks for the information!
I don’t modify the apk of any app, just the ones that I know certain features aren’t necessary and I know that the devs aren’t being hurt if I’m doing it (i.e. big tech apps). And I am careful of which apps I modify, if there’s probably checking for unauthorized modifications or if certain modifications will break the app altogether.
Since there’s all these spooky stuff about Lucky Patcher, I did try out Blokada, and I found it very nice! Only thing that didn’t work out for me was that it still doesn’t substitutes Lucky Patcher, since I used it mainly for modifying other in-app features (nothing unethical lol). And the fact that Blokada has to run on the background while in use, when I could just modify one thing and reinstall the apk and never bother to keep Lucky Patcher open.
Could you perhaps recommend me other FOSS app which modifies an app’s internal features just like Lucky Patcher?
See the description in Google Play if the shows ads or sellings in the apps, because Google put this in the description and use which don’t. Or Use FOSS apps from F-Droid, there are also nice games, f.Exmpl. The Gloomy Dungeons serie, a first person dungeon crawler RPG. and other very usefull apps, all of them FOSS also some paid OSS, like VPNs and similar, the good ones are never free, because good servers cost money.
Thanks for the recommendations and advice! Even though I still don’t have an actual good substitute to Lucky Patcher :(
And I fortunately already knew about the ads use in app description on Google Play and F-Droid (almost exclusively using it and ditching Google Play now!), I’m happy to be able to say that little by little I’m detaching from proprietary software on everything I can!
And I will try harder to look for apps with no ads rather than with from now on. Again, thanks!
For almost 20 years I have not needed to pay for a software or game, neither on the PC nor on the mobile, none of the apps and games that I have on my mobile currently have ads, although not all of them are OSS. That is, it can be achieved by searching a bit, the AlternativeTo page is an excellent help here.

None of these type of apps are FOSS, nor it is Lucky Patcher, all are proprietary soft freeware https://alternativeto.net/software/lucky-patcher/
Same functions - same problem
