I’m kinda picky about installing stuff on my phone (especially from untrustworthy sources like Google Play), and I like the additional vetting F-droid package maintainers do. Does “IzzyOnDroid” do similar vetting, or is it just grabbing whatever from upstream and distributing it without human intervention?
Weird! Well, I technically use Droidify so maybe that’s the reason? Either way, I also recommend Droidify to F-Droid because of security issues so try Droidify and then also try Liftoff if you’d like.
There’s no real security difference between Droidify & F-droid or any other Popular FOSS F-droid client. They just serve a GUI to the same backend and servers.
Yeah, I’m also still waiting for anything other than Jerboa to finally show up on F-Droid.

The IzzyOnDroid Inclusion Policy is very similar to F-droid’s, just slightly less strict.

I just upgraded to Infinity, but I was previously using Liftoff which was on F-Droid and worked great!
I’m searching F-droid for it but not seeing Liftoff. I tried searching both via the app itself and via https://duckduckgo.com/?q=liftoff+site%3Afdroid.org

Droidify includes IzzyOnDroid Repo by default amongst others.
