F-Droid, the free and open-source app store for Android, has rolled out a major version 2.0 redesign, framed as a response to Google's tightening restrictions on installing apps from outside the Play Store. The update is being widely shared and discussed in French-speaking tech communities, where commentators see it as a stand for user freedom and sideloading rights on Android devices.
Why now: Google's recent moves against sideloading on Android have renewed interest in independent app stores like F-Droid.
