If you feel that downloads are slow, just press ❎ to cancel the download then press Install/Update again so it picks up some other mirror.

There's no unified "F-Droid server" but several and a dozen or more mirrors.

Each time you try again it will use a different one. Hopefully the next one will have better bandwidth.

/PS: We've seen the reports, we will look into it.

#Fennec #Firefox 142 is live in #FDroid and we're having fun already!

Yes, swipe it away and be amazed how on reopen pages won't load. 😢

We got tricks for you:

1️⃣ Instead of swiping the app you use the ❎ Close option. The button appears if you enable "Delete browsing data on quit" in Settings. eg. keep only "Cached images and Files" toggled ON

2️⃣ *No joke* when the page loads and drags on, you just lock the screen. 🤷 On device unlock the page will load. 🎇

Yes, #Fedilab has some differences between its Google Play version and its #FDroid version.
There are mostly due to restrictions from Google.

In the Google app we had to remove:

- Donation links
- Register an account on Mastodon (as they don't want to understand that the app doesn't collect emails).
- Filter some search results with #Peertube to exclude "YouTube Downloader" videos

To Google users, keep in mind you can easily switch to FDroid, we would be happy to help if you have questions
