Super helpful, thank you! I have downloaded some on my own before seeing this (fumbled around). I’m sure this will be of benefit to lots of folks.

Thanks @Greenie. I plan to add some additional repos to this post in the next few days.

What do we do if we get a warning like this?

Hey @Greenie
F-Droid can’t check all repositories. If you are not familiar with the developers or you don’t feel comfortable with third party repositories, please don’t install it. Some of the apps offered by this developer have been used by other members of this community with positive results, so I posted the repository. Its a matter of preference. I have attached their website so you can see if their products suit your needs.

This is where I got lost. What exactly is a repository and why do I want to enter one?
Is this so I can check on the integrity of the app I have?
Also, what exactly am I entering (though I guess answering the first question will answer that)

Thanks for the education and your patience with me.

Hi.
Think of a repository as an separate store with additional apps that are not available on F-Droid. Click a link, copy the URL you see, and paste it per the instructions.

Oh I follow you now. This is an effort to get F-Droid to get those apps.
Thanks.

EDIT: Ignore this - original link for Brave is same and working correctly.

Just an FYI for anyone reading this and using the links provided - BRAVE BROWSER repository url is now here:

@Mycenius
This appears to be the same link that I have already posted.
I have compared the Link, the Url and the Fingerprint. They are exactly the same. Am I missing something? :thinking:

IDK @romluk, Whenever I click on the link you originally posted it didn’t work - it gave an error and what I saw looked different… maybe they had a redirect or something?

I can see they look the same as you say so can’t figure it out.

:man_shrugging:

I’ll edit my post.

@Mycenius No worries. As long as the members can get to it one way or the other. :+1:

one benefit of adding a repository to fdroid is to get releases faster, as fdroid can be slow. adding the official newpipe repo, for example, will get the latest fixes as fast as the devs can publish them, not weeks behind.
