Me too, and if it's not there then I recently discovered Aurora Store which let's you download from Google Play anonymously and is itself available on F-Droid.
Nice try, Philip J. Fry!
How's the Aurora Store working right now? Last time I used it, anonymous accounts started getting rate-limited pretty severly, rendering it quite painful to use
The latest versions of Aurora store have a setting to automatically search in the browser which evades the playstore-side rate limiting. It's a little annoying, but that's on playstore, not aurora.
Good to hear. I decided to become completely independant from the Play Store when that happened and actually managed to do it, but that's obviously not an option for everyone.
Made me exhale audibly through my nostrils.
