Replying to [comment:12 eighthave]:
> Another nice feature of getting Tor Browser integrated into the F-Droid
ecosystem is the "Update Channels" library for making an app be able to
find/download/install it own updates. One way it can operate is that TBA
would check the Tor Project repo for updates. This requires only a HTTP
HEAD request, then comparing the ETag, so like < 1kb. One mode of
operation is starting to check for updates if it hasn't been updated in
the past month.

F-Droid/Play. People will get it from APKMirror, APKPure, Aptoide, or any
of the myriad third party app stores out there.
That's indeed an interesting point, thanks for mentioning it.
