Droidify is so vastly superior it’s not even close. Fdroid still has the privileged extension whereas droidify and Neodroid can use Shizuku and other options.

I do think that droidify is an unfortunate naming choice though.

This still doesn't bring up Fennec if searched for 'browser'. Neo Store does.

F-Droid Basic, a cut down version of the official F-Droid client, supports the Android 12+ unattended app updates [1]. This allows for a store to update apps without user confirmation (if it was the store which installed (or updated?) the app originally) [2].

NeoStore can do that as well. It doesn't require root, it's simply an option.

Not on modern versions of Android.

What is all of this, care to elaborate?

A lot of actually uncommon knowledge is being assumed here.
