Android Users: To Avoid Malware, Try the F-Droid App Store (Wired)

Wired recommendsswitching to F-Droid for Android apps."A polluted ocean of apps is plaguing Android, an operating systembuilt upon Free and Open-Source Software (FOSS) but now barely resemblingthose venerable roots. Today, the average Android device is not onlysusceptible to malware and trackers, it's also heavily locked down andloaded with proprietary components-characteristics that are hardly thecalling cards of the FOSS movement. Though Android bears the moniker of open-source, the chain of trust between developers, distributors, and end-users is broken."
