   This week in #FDroid (TWIF):

   - We will remove the "gentle update" from F-Droid 1.22.0-alpha, as it is not stable enough. Thank you for testing (and finding bugs)!

   - Fossify Paint was added
   - we recommend to switch from Mull to Fennec (as Mull has stopped development)
   - OpenTracks is now available as reproducible and non-reproducible variant
   - Exclave, a SagerNet fork was added

     @fdroidorg
     May I ask why you do not also suggest @privacybrowser or @monocles ?
     Due to rendering engine?

     anban repeated this.

     @AAMfP @privacybrowser @monocles It's true that, given F-Droid's FOSS-only stance, we don't currently build any Chromium based browsers, as that codebase is not only huge but comes with plenty of random binaries. The two mentioned browsers depend on the system installed Webview so it's out of our hands. We just hope everybody gets timely Android and Webview updates.
