It has pros and cons. You fully trust the developer and also most often Github. For a reasonable experience you need a Github account and Token to avoid a fast rate limit.

Also, F-Droid is a really simple application, which doesnt support a lot of things, reducing attack surface a lot.

I use Obtainium and get most apps from releases, some from F-Droid. I would say, if it isnt known, prefer F-Droid.

I do have a github account tho. I only use it because ProtonMail isn't on f-droid and without an app to get updates, I'll forget to update in no time

Yes updates are important.

I use it too, but I got those doubts. But tbh I am too lazy to uninstall apps again and reinstall from the F-Droid source
