The Xz backdoor and a near miss on the F-Droid app store show how the entitled attitude of some people in the open source community can be used to push malicious or insecure code.

    What’s a wrapper in this context?

    An app that’s just WebView?

      Not WebView, but a so-called TWA, aka Trusted Web Activity, a features specifically designed to wrap PWAs and give them full-blown app capabilities.

        What additional capabilities does that give the app beyond using Firefox or Chrome to install it as a PWA?
