Is it more or less a replacement for Play Store?
If possible, F-Droid could/should be used as your first stop for looking for a particular app or type of app. Obviously you won't find Tumblr on there, but it's got you covered for replacement apps for things like SMS messages, a photo gallery, a calculator, flashlight, notepad, file editor... You get the idea.
It's a fully open sourced app store for android. The code of all apps in the F-Droid repository are reviewed before being made available. So this is why the F-Droid version wont have these settings, as it'll be an older version.
Yes.
