The Google Play Store is more secure.
How so?
Why Fdroid is not secure:
Not outdated
That's the standard method
What features?
AFAIK it dods
Just don't install the old apps then.
That's literally why it was made. To distribute FOSS apps.
Here is a more detailed explanation: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/
Accrescent is a new appstore that fixes all these issues but its still in alpha stage and has 11 apps right now.
I replaced fdroid with Obtainium that pulls apks from github,gitlab,fdroid,etc and it has support for auto updates. It's a little better than Fdroid but still has its own issues.
