Not true, you get the open source code and you compile it yourself then compare the checksum of what you compiled with app installer. If they match that means they didn't add extra code besides whats in the open source.

Even if the keyboard is open source, you cannot guarantee that the app that is installed by the app store is the open source version.

I don't think that would cover it. URLchecker acts as a default browser. When you click on a link it will let you if it will redirect you and where, if it has trackers in the link, you can also send the link for a quick virus scan.

Those are just the common uses, It has more features.

As long as the app is not open source, they can claim anything without being true.

For me it is not about supporting/agreeing with Ukraine. It is about Russia starting a war because they want to. I live a country close to the war, I don't want Russian occupation or proximity.
