Hi, could you touch on why F-Droid is less safe? Is it because they package (I think that's the term?) stuff themselves?

Certainly.

To answer your question: yeah, pretty much.

I got all of this information, originally, through this guy's channel (Side Of Burritos on YouTube):

  2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAbgeJau3eE
  3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFz57zNR_M0

 

It's also worth mentioning that part three of that series ended up directly inspiring another project called Obtanium, which he then did a video on here:
