They are being ironic here

It’s really more like being called Indiana Jones or Washington Jones

I had no idea. Thanks for telling me! In that case, im going to try to use the ones from IzzyOnDroid if avaliable

Edit: According to their docs, they do take some special security measures and I couldn’t find a case of an app offered on FDroid which had malware.

The closest to that would be Codeberg. It’s a nice initiative, and some big projects like LibreWolf are already using it.

I personally like F-Droid’s vetting process. It’s true that updates always arrive a few days later, but you can be sure they don’t contain any malicious code. Furthermore, they specify all of the antifeatures a program has, which makes it easier to avoid them. If you want faster updates, you can always download a program through Obtanium.

Honestly SearXNG and Brave search are fairly good. I don’t think I’ve ever had to switch to google or some bing clone to search the internet for a very long time
