F-Droid audits apps and usually removes ads and trackers unless they are required for the app to function. For example an app that records GPS tracks and uploads them, is GPS tracking the user. Technically F-Droid permits them if they are implemented solely via FOSS means, but I’m not aware of a single app on F-Droid that displays ad banners or so. There are these Facebook etc replacement apps that are specialized web browsers but ads on Facebook are not ads by the app.

Fdroid has a specific antifeature for ads. Is it possible to search the repo by antifeature to see what kinds of ad implementations have made it in?
