 Use obtanium so you don't need to use the play store to get the play store version.  
 I do t know anything about obtainium, but will look into it! 
 It's an installer for apps that support it. It's very slick. I wish more apps would support it. Amethyst does and it's fast and easy.

 Why Obtanium instead of F-droid? Or are they for different use cases 
 Obtanium is much faster to get the update, plus you get push notifications of updates instead of possibly not getting them on f-droid.  
 Gotcha. So it sounds like f-droid may be more for those with a security preference of manual-only updates, and obtanium is more about permissionless access to the content that everyone gets, without needing to go through Google. Thanks! 
 That's a pretty decent summary. 

F-droid is pretty archaic, and I'd like to see more devs also support obtanium.  
 Makes sense. Will spend more time looking at obtanium if there are way more choices
