For Molly, I kept seeing this popup by Google when downloading Molly FOSS from fdroid.

Should I be concerned? What should I do to ensure I am downloading Molly from a trusted source if Fdroid isn't an ideal place (due to misleading names as depicted in the referenced post)?

Play Protect gives a lot of false positive warnings for me, and I usually just ignore them

FDroid is one of the safest, but you may need to go into settings -> repositories to check which repos are being used. What is checked off when you do that?

The repo a specific app comes from can also be checked by opening the list of versions, then clicking on one of the versions to show the details.
