    I’m intrigued, but this seems like the perfect spot to put malware.

    Edit: Ok, so this comment I’ve replied to is a link to a video, not a link to download an app or extension like I thought it was.

          It is open source. And it is free as in beer. It’s not free as in speech though. But I understand his reasons and they are justifiable IMO given the android ecosystem.

            From my limited understanding, open source means a very specific thing. So this is just “source available”.

              Yeah “Open source” can be many things and the definition is often misused. I would say it’s FOSS without being FLOSS. As you say “source available”.

        That would help if I had any idea what I’m doing with code.

        I just know I see a comment with a link to something different from what’s in the video posted above, and I’m not sure about clicking that link in the comment.

      it’s open source. feel free to check and compile it yourself.

      In fact, Louis adresses the malware problem in the video

        I’m not asking about the video, it looks legit. I’m wondering about the comment with a link that I replied to.
