    I always look for apps on fdroid first if I need something

    Me too, and if it’s not there then I recently discovered Aurora Store which let’s you download from Google Play anonymously and is itself available on F-Droid.

    Reminds me I should tip them

    Nice try, Philip J. Fry!

      How’s the Aurora Store working right now? Last time I used it, anonymous accounts started getting rate-limited pretty severly, rendering it quite painful to use

        The latest versions of Aurora store have a setting to automatically search in the browser which evades the playstore-side rate limiting. It’s a little annoying, but that’s on playstore, not aurora.

          Good to hear. I decided to become completely independant from the Play Store when that happened and actually managed to do it, but that’s obviously not an option for everyone.
