  "textContent": "I’m a strong believer in centralized package management and automatic updates.\n\nSo my recommendation would be:\n\n  * If you have a Google Play account on your phone, use the PlayStore.\n  * If not use Aurora Store without a Google Account.\n\n\n\nMy reasons are simple. Even if not perfect, Google or the F-Droid-Team can do a much better job vetting and monitoring the apps and their developers, than I can. - There are too many apps and updates for to spend my personal time on keeping up with each and every project.\n\nI’d never install an app from a homepage, because I had to manually update the app or allow it to install updates (and therefor apps) on its own.",
