For Molly, I kept seeing this popup by Google when downloading Molly FOSS from fdroid.

Should I be concerned? What should I do to ensure I am downloading Molly from a trusted source if Fdroid isn’t an ideal place (due to misleading names as depicted in the referenced post)?

    This BS is one of the last straws pushing me away from Google.

    Running DivestOS, you can install MicroG as a user app in a secondary profile. So it runs only when you want it to. You can install play store there too, and again it only runs when you want it to.

    That should limit this nonsense until I can replace my paid for apps with something else.

    Shut up Google. Most malware comes from the play store.
