I want a good app ecosystem that has basic android replacements. I tried Fossify apps but I dont know I didnt like them. I ve tried some MA apps and so far they look clean enough, I just wanna know if there are any flaws or issues with them that would make me wanna reconsider

I use a few MA apps, none of which have declared the internet permission. Nor would I ever want them to have internet access.

But a few MA apps actually do require internet to work for their intended purpose, and I will never install one of those out of fear all the MA apps "secretly" talk/share/IPC my data with eachother, effectively granting all the non-internet apps the internet permission.

I'm not saying this is happening. But I'm also not about to delve into the entire codebase to find out.
