You are not wrong. However x86 is dead to me for having a BIOS level backdoor built in that you can't get rid of (probably; yes I know about ME Cleaner). Not to mention Intel sat on their laurels for years. ARM are far from perfect,

I am glad to see a growing chorus of people voicing similar concerns, which myself and others have long held. The article links to a similar article from Drew DeVault for instance (down at the bottom). Perhaps if nothing changes after a wh

That, in itself, is another nice feature of F-Droid. It allows you to add additional repositories of your own choosing. It's so refreshing, especially compared to $megacorp <strike>control freak</strike>, er, security
