Why Android users should switch to open source apps

SMRTR summary

Open source apps offer a better mobile experience than traditional apps that collect excessive data and use bait-and-switch monetization. FOSS applications provide transparent code anyone can inspect, don't track users, avoid subscription traps, use fewer device resources, and give users true ownership of their data and experience. These privacy-respecting alternatives are increasingly user-friendly and easily available through Google Play or F-Droid.
