Like last time, using the Apps store results in traffic to/from “cleanapk.org.” We still don’t know who operates this domain.
There is now a website at info.cleanapk.org. It states: “Cleanapk.org’s aim is to provide a clean, generic and up to date repository of free Android applications (open source and not open source) that are official packages from publishers. We do our best effort to provide pristine, unmodified Android applications packages (APKs).”
i agree with your grapheneos recommendation, however given their history i don't trust the /e/ foundation.
That's sketchy...
