It's completely fair to compare on the qualities which were specified.
The qualities that were specified were security. Do you plan to actually explain how both FDroid and random GitHub downloads are equally insecure?
The qualities that were specified was the ability to install the apps through the browser without the "attack vector" of an app installer.
In that case, both FDroid and the browser are intermediaries and potential attack vectors. You go through the same number of middlemen. One just verifies the packages for you.
So you agree that they're comparable?
If you have tunnel vision, then sure. In fact, it's just as comparable as downloading from
realappmirror.ruwhere you have the same number of intermediaries.I don't have "tunnel vision" and I don't know what that thing is. Perhaps you'd like to continue trying to explain how they're incomparable?
I already did.
If you have nothing of value to add, then I'm done discussing this.
I have nothing to add because I've already addressed this. Now it's your turn. If you're not going to answer my question, then feel free to stop replying to me.
