Use obtanium so you don't need to use the play store to get the play store version.

I do t know anything about obtainium, but will look into it!
It's an installer for apps that support it. It's very slick. I wish more apps would support it. Amethyst does and it's fast and easy.
Why Obtanium instead of F-droid? Or are they for different use cases
Obtanium is much faster to get the update, plus you get push notifications of updates instead of possibly not getting them on f-droid.
Gotcha. So it sounds like f-droid may be more for those with a security preference of manual-only updates, and obtanium is more about permissionless access to the content that everyone gets, without needing to go through Google. Thanks!
