Get the older version: Running on old Android versions | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
Also install that certificate as instructed.
Hi @Licaon_Kter thanks for the reply and for the help. I have a problem, I already installed the f-droid app version 1.12.1 but the applications don’t appear and it stays blank and when I reload the app I get a box like the screenshot shows
…
I did all the steps. configuration install from storage. I get the hidden file and I can’t click on the file as the capture appears
rename it so it’s blahblah.pem not blahablaha.txt maybe
thank you very much it worked. Now all the applications come out. I have a question, I wanted to install duckduckgo but I get an error when installing. and it tells me that I have to have the old version, not the most recent, although Google Play is no longer compatible with my tablet and several non-compatible applications, I installed an app called ffUpdater in the f-droid app and it installed it without a problem but I wanted update Brave Browser but it didn’t update to the latest version as shown in the screenshot
Brave and other Chromium based browsers only support Android 8.0 and higher since Chromium version 120.
The latest version of Firefox and forks such as Fennec & Mull both still support Android 5.0 and higher.
mmm… it may be a bit of a disappointment that you can’t install Chromium browsers. I noticed in the F-Droid app that there isn’t any Chromium-based browser. But I also did a little more research in the Brave Community, which is working on GitHub to support it on F-Droid. [Android] Offer support for LineageOS/F-Droid · Issue #7027 · brave/brave-browser · GitHub
Yes, I realized that you can install the mullvad app and others. But my complaint is that f droid is becoming the same as play store, they are not giving us options to install compatible apps on a non-compatible device, because it may leave you a little bitter that you can’t install apps like duckduckgo and others, and when the app is released on brave on f droid it may not be compatible with my tablet
Cromite is the only fully free Chromium-based browser but compiling Chromium in fdroidserver is an extremely complicated process.
Mull has no relation to Mullvad.

To be fair Android 5 was released back in 2014 and went end of life in 2018, except your About screen shows 2016 so it isn’t even the final version of Android 5.
As in your device is 8 whole years behind (security) updates.
