Same issue for every Chinese user... just pray its on Fdroid or get shady apps from the Xiaomi store

It is on FDroid[1], and they provide official builds[2]. I really wish people would actually check stuff like this (that takes a few minutes) before spreading FUD.

As an aside, I only use FDroid on my devices to install APKs (the only exception being Signal which now provides bare APKs[3]).

I did check. And it's not at all clear from FDroid that Klar and Focus are the same thing (and reading the other comments here.. it sounds like maybe there is some difference?)

I almost only use FDroid, but it can be sometimes of a pain. Like not even having Firefox and VLC is kinda bananas
