Not sure about Aurora Droid but the Aurora store wont have the same build guarantees that come with using fdroid. Something to note.
Installing malware through a proxy is still installing malware.
- dessant 7y agoAurora Droid comes with a customizable list of package repositories, including an F-Droid repository mirror. Aurora Store fetches packages from the same source as the Google Play client. There's a legitimate benefit to having access to the Google Play catalog without depending on Google Play Services or owning a Google account, and not all apps on Google Play are malware.

Yalp was once good but find it unusable now. Aurora store has good UI and seems to handle the proxy accounts better, or at least they are not being banned so quick.
- bubblethink 7y agoAre you using some Stallmanesque definition of malware ? Because otherwise, it's not clear what you are trying to say. Aurora droid/store are frontends to f-droid/gplay. They are open source themselves and don't do anything in the malware dept.
