Me too. But more and more I am using ObtainX now and installing from Github sources. I don't need F-Droid's gatekeeping.

I remember Obtainium being PITA to set up, is there any benefit in ObtainX over APKUpdater from rumboalla? Seems to have way more sources.

https://github.com/rumboalla/apkupdater

I wasn't aware of that app. I will check that one out too.

FYI the obtainx sources current list is: Fdroid, Fdroid 3rd party, Forgejo(Codeberg), GitHub, GitLab, IzzyOnDroid, CoolApk, Tencent App Store, vivo App Store (CN).

I only ever used Github so far.

So "Fdroid, Fdroid 3rd party, Forgejo(Codeberg), GitHub, GitLab, IzzyOnDroid, CoolApk, Tencent App Store, vivo App Store (CN)"

VS

"APKMirror, Aptoide, F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, APKPure, GitLab and GitHub"

so 3 chinese app stores vs APKMirror, APKPure and Aptoide, I think I'd trust more APKM over the rest, personally I update only from Github/Fdroid and APKPure/Aptoide I have disabled
