Una consulta a la comunidad de Mastodon, a ver si son tan amables y conocedores del tema como para darme una recomendación.
Estoy interesado en instalar en Android algunas apps que lo permitan desde el correspondiente archivo apk. La cuestión es que puede darse el caso de que no encuentre el archivo en la web del proyecto o de la app,
He visto que existen algunas webs como PureAPK o APKMirror. ¿Alguien me podría dar su opinión sobre este tipo de webs o quizás recomendarme alguna web de fiar para descargar instaladores de tipo APK?
Muchas gracias de antemano.
F-droid para instalar aplicaciones de software libre. Y desde fdroid te puedes instalar Aurora, que es una interfaz gráfica de la tienda de Google mas "anonimizada" ya que no requiere cuenta de Google. De ahí te puedes instalar la mayoría de aplicaciones de la tienda de Google, a excepción de una que otra aplicación que te exige que uses si o si la play store, pero por fortuna esas son pocas y además el riesgo a nivel de seguridad de las aplicaciones sería exactamente el mismo que instalarlo de la play store. Además la tienda de Aurora te muestra los "rastreadores" que tiene cada aplicación.
En mi caso personal intento instalar casi todo de la tienda de fdroid y las apps propietarias que sean obligatorias uso la tienda de Aurora.
