      F-droid is a good manager for sidelodable apps. It comes with a ton of Foss packages and the ability to add more repos if you stumble across any.

      NOTE: You shouldn't leave the side-load protection/warning off 24/7. Malicious Apps can happen (even in the Google Play store). So be vigilant with what you pirate/install.

      You can download the app from a site and choose to install apps from non-Play Store locations in your settings.
