I installed Bitwarden from F-Droid, but I happened to notice yesterday that Bitwarden was in my list of apps with updates available from Play Store, even though I installed it via F-Droid. Why would that be?
I know this is a better question for the Bitwarden forums, but I don’t have enough street cred there to make a post.
So are you saying that the Google Play version of an app is likely to have more privacy than the F-Droid version?
Also, I’ve noticed the F-Droid filter on Aurora Store is broken. All of my F-Droid apps still appear in my list of updates.
fDroid filter works for me 🤷
you can put the apps you want ignored in the black list of Aurora too
I think blacklisting only hides the apps from Google, not Aurora
then when you blacklist apps, aurora no longer searches for their updates either 🤷
try it for yourself. next time there is an update for an app; instead of updating, blacklist it. (you can always undo
Okay, so the only reason to blacklist an app would be if you didn’t want to update for some reason
or if you want to update from other repositories
Oh, I get it now. So I’d want to do that to my F-Droid apps, if I prefer to run their updates via F-Droid.

No, the opposite
